More particularly we feel others’ feelings about ourselves: at least as long as we are awake\, we are subject to being self-consciously affected in our interactions with others. We are capable of social self-consciousness\, and such a capacity plays a critical part in our general capacity to care about\, calibrate\, and organise human life. In this talk I want to consider a subject’s relation to her own affective social self-consciousness. Two areas I will consider are (i) a subject’s practical management of their social self-consciousness\, and (i) a subject’s appraisals of their own social self-consciousness. I will suggest that the latter concern can be thought of in the context of a general problem of the rationality of deference. I suggest that our self-appraisals should be understood as allowing for a kind of necessary instability\, tension\, and opacity. In so far as our self-conscious lives\, are rationally permeated with the appraisals of others\, we risk standing in an uncomprehending\, but committed\, sense of ourselves and our value \nLocation: Edgecliffe G03 URL:/philevents/event/ceppa-talk-in-person-online-lucy-obrien-ucl/ LOCATION:Edgecliffe 104 CATEGORIES:CEPPA Talk END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
