Abstract

This paper aims to discuss the problem of personal identity based on Hermann Hesses novel Sidarta. The novels main life-story personage is analized and contextualized in the light of Jungs psychology and Mircea Eliade and Joseph Campbells historical ethnologic perspectives. In a second time, the study contemplates also the sociological conception of the self-identity on modernity developed by Anthony Giddens. In the last instance, this paper seeks to circumscribe the idea of self-identity betting on the possibility of a transdisciplinary approach.
