Chameleon: Being A Book Of My Selves is a collection of essays and philosophical musings by Benjamin De Casseres, an American writer and philosopher who lived from 1873 to 1945. The book is a reflection on the idea of the self and the many different identities that make up a person's life. De Casseres explores the concept of the chameleon, a creature that can change its color and blend into its surroundings, as a metaphor for the ever-changing nature of the self. He argues that we are not one fixed identity, but rather a collection of different selves that emerge in different situations and contexts. Through a series of essays, De Casseres delves into topics such as the nature of consciousness, the role of art in shaping our identities, and the relationship between the individual and society. He also reflects on his own life and experiences, offering insights into his own personal journey of self-discovery. Chameleon: Being A Book Of My Selves is a thought-provoking and deeply philosophical work that challenges readers to reconsider their own understanding of the self and the many different identities that make up their lives.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
