Know Thyself
An unexamined life is not
worth living” - Socrates.
Know Thyself is an old
maxim or aphorism which in
time has been used in varied
literature and consequently
gained different meanings.
One of its meanings is
recorded in the Greek
encyclopedia of knowledge
called “The Suda”.
Know thyself is a moral
epistemological injunction

writers which means
acquiring the skills of way
of questioning or
challenging the person to
gain careful understanding
of oneself.

themselves. Among these
Sincero named three aspects
such as:
Self-concept
is learned.

is organized.

is dynamic.
Sigmund Freud proposed that there
are three components of
personality within
us: the Id, Ego and Superego
that certainly play a vital role of
how we think
of ourselves.
ID
Freud explained that man's personality is
driven by pleasure principle.
This means that the nature of Id is to
satisfy man's desire without thinking much
of the situation.
EGO

This is the second component of the


personality that is developed
at approximately the age of three. This
operates according to reality which makes
it possible for the Id to work in a more
proper and satisfactory ways.
superego
Freud believed that this aspect of man
begins to manifest as a child turns 5.
This is the last component of personality
which holds our moral judgments or
concept of right and wrong that are
believed to be acquired from the family
and the environment.
