• 自己は他者(の態度の取得)なしではありえない:

‥‥It is this recognition of the individual as a self in the process of using his self-consciousness which gives him the attitude of self-assertion or the attitude of devotion to the community. He has become, then, a definite self. (p.193)

 When a self does appear it always involves an experience of another; there could not be an experience of a self simply by itself.‥‥
then the individual appears in his own experience as a self; and until this happens he does not appear as a self.(p.195)

  • (したがって、)自己は実体ではない。

The self is not so much a substance as a process in which the conversation of gestures has been internalized within an organic form. This process does not exist for itself, but is simply a phase of the whole social organization of which the individual is a part. (pp.178)
