About this document
Self in Western and Eastern Thought by Atteya Mogote Abdullah is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Different cultures can lead to varying perceptions of the self. In Eastern cultures like China, the self is seen as interconnected with community rather than independent. Confucianism views the self as subdued for social harmony. Taoism sees the self as balanced with society and nature. Buddhism sees the self as an illusion that causes suffering, and advocates forgetting the self. Meanwhile, Western cultures focus more on individual self-development and esteem.
