Abstract
Continuing his discussion of the self in historical context, philosopher Charles Taylor talks about the progression of ideas about the self from Descartes through John Locke. It was from Locke that what Professor Taylor calls the "punctual self" that's seen in the modern world first emerged. This is the concept of the self that is not defined by any particular substantive desires, tendencies or beliefs, but by the idea that one has the power to makes one's self over by "careful examination."
