本文从当前青年自我意识扩大的实际出发,对如何正确认识“自我”进行了理论探索,分析了“自我”在哲学、心理学和社会学研究中的不同含义,井对“自我”进行了界定。作者指出把“自我”简单地等同于自私,这是理论研究上的一个失误,也是部分青年产生逆反心理的一个重要原因。作者认为,“自我意识”、个人奋斗作为一种动力是双向的,理性地认识科学意义上的“自我”,是青年社会化的重要条件。 Based on the actual expansion of youth self-awareness, this essay theoretically explores how to correctly understand “self”, analyzes the different meanings of “ego” in the study of philosophy, psychology and sociology, and defines “self” . The author points out that “self” is simply equivalent to selfishness, which is a mistake in theoretical research and an important reason why some young people produce rebellious mentality. The author believes that “self-awareness” and individual struggle as a kind of motivation are two-way. A rational understanding of the “self” in the scientific sense is an important condition for the socialization of youth.
