Publisher's Synopsis

The Questing Self by Ruth Russell Davis is a book that explores the concept of the self and how it is shaped by personal experiences and cultural influences. The author argues that the self is not a fixed entity, but rather a constantly evolving process that is shaped by our interactions with the world around us.The book is divided into three parts. The first part explores the idea of the self as a quest, and how this quest is influenced by cultural and historical factors. The second part examines the role of personal experiences in shaping the self, including the impact of trauma and other life-changing events. The final part of the book looks at the ways in which the self is expressed through creative endeavors such as art and literature.Throughout the book, Davis draws on a wide range of sources, including philosophy, psychology, and literature, to explore the complex and multifaceted nature of the self. She also includes personal anecdotes and reflections to illustrate her points and make the material more accessible.Overall, The Questing Self is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of a fundamental aspect of human existence. It will appeal to anyone interested in the nature of the self and how it is shaped by our experiences and cultural context.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
