The Emergence of Self-awareness and its Collapse

–Toward a Logic of Coexistence

Abstract

The emergence of self-awareness in the course of human development is indispensably associated with interaction between self and others in terms of Interpersonal Stimuli (Kasuga, 1987), which relates the quality of interaction per se. Self is considered as an organism of functioning system supported by six subsystems as a whole. The dysfunction of self -system as an organism is a precursor of collapse of self- existence. According to system theory, noxious outer stimuli from dysfunctional family and those stemmed from international crisis between country and country jeopardize the self-existence and ultimately world peace. A logic or theory of coexistence is, therefore, the most important problems for philosophers and psychologists to pursue in the information technology (IT) dominating present day world. It is suggested here that Taxonomy of Similarity is significant to establish the theory of coexistence. For the purpose of seeking eternal world peace,the significance of Immanuel Kant’s Eternal Peace Theory (1795), and the correspondence (1932) between Albert Einstein and Sigmund Freud concerning” Why human involves in war ? “ have been cited and reevaluated in the present day context to pave the way for a better future.
