Abstract
When is it useful or not useful to look upon an individual as a single unit, a "Cohesive Self"? When is it useful or not useful to look upon any one as being constituted of many parts, each with an identity of its own? When is it more useful to see ourselves as part of the greater whole? I use the term "useful" rather than "true" since all are true—simultaneously and at all times.
