Here is an article from my absolutely favourite author.
He starts with looking at the 'soul'.
Then into a biological notion of the 'self'
(Including the notion of boundaries)to see how selves can emerge via evolution.
Then into a distinctively human notion with the role of language / self-representation / narration.
Then into the idea of 'multiple selves'.It is a good account and fairly understandable and common-sense.
I hope someone enjoys it...
