Core Consciousness - Daniel Stern

Daniel Stern

Daniel Stern's phases of the development of the sense of self map neatly into Damasio's (1999) neuropsychological descriptions: the "proto-self" (first-order neural maps), core consciousness (second-order neural maps), and extended consciousness (involving third-order neural maps).

Where 'the emergent self that Stern describes is conceptualised by Damasio as the "proto-self"...'s core self is the product of core consciousness'.

    I guess a man’s best friend is his mother.
    Vina Delmar, U.S. novelist, playwright. Daniel (Ralph Bellamy)

    The triumphs of peace have been in some proximity to war. Whilst the hand was still familiar with the sword-hilt, whilst the habits of the camp were still visible in the port and complexion of the gentleman, his intellectual power culminated; the compression and tension of these stern conditions is a training for the finest and softest arts, and can rarely be compensated in tranquil times, except by some analogous vigor drawn from occupations as hardy as war.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
