The Self and the Object

In general knowledge, “the self” refers to an individual's conscious awareness, thoughts, and experiences—essentially, who we are internally. “The object,” on the other hand, represents everything outside the self, including other people, ideas, and the world around us. Understanding the interplay between the self and the object helps us explore how our perceptions shape our reality and how we relate to our surroundings. It highlights the distinction between our internal experiences and external influences, allowing us to reflect on our identity and our interactions within a complex world.
