Social Recognition and its Philosophical Roots
from The Curious Mind Hosted by Gabriel Ellis, PhD
Why are other people so fundamental to our consciousness?Even in the womb, our consciousness begins to engage with the "Other"—through the body, through sensations and perceptions. Later, young children project mental qualities onto inanimate objects and enter into quasi-social relationships with them. Overall, our long phase of dependency on parents makes us particularly sensitive to recognition and social connection... These are key components I explore to show why social perception and recognition are the foundation of our sense of self—and why they can never be fully resolved.
