More particularly we feel others\u2019 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\u2019s relation to her own affective social self-consciousness. Two areas I will consider are (i) a subject\u2019s\u00a0<i data-ogsc=\"\">practical<\/i>\u00a0management of their social self-consciousness, and (i) a subject\u2019s\u00a0<i data-ogsc=\"\">appraisals<\/i>\u00a0of 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<\/p>\n<p><strong>Location:<\/strong> Edgecliffe G03<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title:\u00a0Autonomy and control over one\u2019s social self-consciousness Abstract: Humans have the capacity to absorb \u2013 to feel \u2013 others\u2019 feelings.
