The World as Self
The
way we define and delimit the self is arbitrary. We can place it
between our ears and have it looking out from our eyes, or we can widen
it to include the air we breathe, or at other moments we can cast its
boundaries farther to include the oxygen-giving trees and plankton, our
external lungs, and beyond them the web of life in which they are
sustained.
