AI-generated Abstract

The paper presents a discourse on the transition from self-knowledge to an empirical understanding of the self through various philosophical and scientific frameworks. It critiques the traditional methodologies employed in the study of self, emphasizing the need for a more integrative approach that transcends individual perspectives and incorporates observational and experiential data. The study aims to establish a comprehensive framework that allows for the multifaceted exploration of selfhood, addressing underlying assumptions and proposing future directions for research in this domain.
