Composition of Self

THE SELF HAS ALWAYS BEEN COMPOSED OF TWO SELVES. 

YES, THE SELF WHICH IS OBSERVED AND THE SELF WHICH OBSERVES ITSELF.

Double-consciousness is a concept in social philosophy referring, originally, to a source of inward “twoness” putatively experienced by African-Americans because of their racialized oppression and disvaluation in a white-dominated society. Its source has been traced back from there, by recent commentators, to the development of clinical psychology in the nineteenth-century North Atlantic, and to trends in idealist philosophies of self – the transcendentalism of Ralph Waldo Emerson and G.W.F. Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit. 

As he says, 

"to be a poor man is hard, but to be a poor race is even harder."
