Abstract

Samuel Clark explores how we can learn about ourselves by reading, thinking through, and arguing about autobiography. He defends a self-realization account of the self and the good life, and argues that self-narration plays less role in our lives than some thinkers have supposed, and the development and expression of potential much more.
