Sounds very much like the work of philosopher, Lacan. According to him:
- We are born into this world premature, experiencing a fragmented reality through underdeveloped senses and motor skills.
- Faced with an image of itself as a masterful, totalized whole, the child recognizes its self in the mirror, and the ego is born.
-In (mis)recognizing the self in the mirror, we create an alienated self - a self which is forever marked by a lack, and forever trying to attain what it saw in the mirror.
Interesting and logical...
thanks.
