Erika Prijatelj ; University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Theology, Ljubljana, Slovenia

Abstract

Introduced by a philosophical overview and briefly from the point of view of social sciences, mainly represented by Moessinger, the main part of the paper is a psychological presentation of self and identity. The presentation is focused primarily on human individual identity. The concept of individual identity, as comprehended today in the West, is the fruit of a long development of understanding of the human person from Augustine, the Reformation, the Enlightenment; and, later on, from Erikson, Freud, Moessinger, Dubar, Martin, Parfit, Guindon and others presented in the paper.
However, according to Guindon, human identity is understood as a totality of physical, performing, individual, psychosexual and psychosocial identities. In this paper we are going to focus particularly on each facet of self-identity as presented in Guindon’s system.
