Andy's Inner Society: Warhol's Philosophy And Sense Of Self, Amyjoy V. Sedberry
Andy's Inner Society: Warhol's Philosophy And Sense Of Self, Amyjoy V. Sedberry

I begin with a brief background of the term’s history and the debate surrounding its use by researchers in the fields of both Psychology and Philosophy of Mind. I then apply this critical understanding of a commonly invoked term to a close reading of contemporary novel A Tale for The Time Being by Japanese-American novelist Ruth Ozeki. Dedicated primarily to the fictional story of Nao Yasutani, a teenage girl struggling with her recent move back to Japan after a …
