The Object Subject

Filed under: General — Tags: , , — m759 @ 11:36 am

"The literary attack on the concept of a remembered self
comes principally from three directions:

(1) the brokenness of memory,

(2) the difficulty of affirming that all memories pertain to
the same self; and

(3) the impossibility of pretending that a subject is an object.

All three of these attacks tend to dissolve the self, to expose it
as fictitious, artificial, quaintly contrived."

The late Daniel Albright
