Summary

• Anand Paranjpe's Self and Identity in Modern Psychology and Indian Thought is a fascinating explanation and exploration of personal identity concepts in the cross-cultural context of Western and Eastern traditions - detailing the theories of Erik H. Erikson and Advaita Vedanta as illustrative of Western and Eastern voices, respectively.
• An interdisciplinary range of contemporary perspectives of self are also examined including univocalism, relativism, and pluralism, with an emphasis placed on cognitive, emotional psychological, religious, and aesthetic considerations among others.
