Beyond Self-Authorship: Fifth Order and the Capacity for Social Consciousness

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

In this chapter, I explore the relationship between Robert Kegan's fifth-order consciousness and the capacity for social consciousness and action. I examine the role of the self in coalition work in phenomenological, postcolonial, and feminist approaches, in light of Kegan's account of self-as-system.
