The Others in Me: the Impact of Others on Self-Conscious Emotions and Self-Understanding

Project description

Explaining how we experience our existence

Self-consciousness and sociality are two basic dimensions in experiencing our existence. Self-consciousness is related to experiencing one’s self and sociality to experiencing others. Relations between the two are investigated, based on psychology, through several emotions that associate them, like jealousy or embarrassment. However, on a philosophical grounding, the gap in defining how humans relate to themselves and how they relate to others needs to be filled. The EU-funded The Others in Me project represents an individual fellowship combining expertise from philosophy of emotion, moral psychology and social ontology in research on self-conscious emotions induced by others (hetero-induced) and the influence of sociality on self-understanding.
