Self is the story you tell yourself about how you fit into the world and society. Identity is the unique combination of attributes of you relative to all other things. You may have an identity in the world that doesn't match your idea of self. Self-identity is just self. People must understand themselves in relation to the world and society, but the relationships aren't the same and they aren't a specific dialectic process. It's like how kids associate themselves either toward or against how they perceive their parents. That there is a relationship is a given, but it doesn't develop or change in a particular way. And given the ratcheting overlap of factors, it's roughly chaotic. In short, Identity goes we'll beyond an individual mind, but Self can only be an internal perspective.
@@alicia1999espana In the past, until recently, it was common to refer to liberalism as idealism. Read your E.H. Carr to see this in action. This did not change until the introduction of Constructivism when it seized this name for its own. Even then in early stuff from the 1990s and things such as that from Martha Finneamore back in the day you can read of normative liberalism which sounds like the old ideals spoken of by Carr and how this provides an attractive bed for constructivism.
