Transformation of Identity in an Advanced Information Society

—Focus on Interoception—

Abstract

Our modern society, known as an advanced information society, is transforming our lives at an accelerating pace, and we are required to reevaluate our identity as individuals and develop a psychological container that allows us to be part of and hold a variety of selves within the individual. At its core is interoception that connects the external and internal worlds and tries to maintain a certain coherence as a human being. Interoception can be related to a certain extent through conscious awareness, and at the same time, it is positioned as a contact point between mind and body that obeys physiological and material laws.
