This paper responds to four commentators (Diana Tietjens Meyers, Lawrence Cahoone, Vincent Colapietro, and Scott L. Pratt) on my book The Network Self: Relation, Process, and Personal Identity (2019). Aspects of the book focused on and about which I respond include reflexive communication (Meyers); identity and integrity (Cahoone); embodiment, self‐deception, and autonomy (Colapietro); and social location and power (Pratt). I also clarify my strategy in the book, namely, to shift the ontological framework away from the dualistic mind/body or psychological/animalist distinction and embrace the idea that as relational processes selves are particular kinds of natural complexes (to use a term from Justus Buchler). In doing so, I aim to avoid metaphysically narrow views of human selves or persons, and to provide a framework for conceptualizing selves in both abstract and practical terms.

回复迈耶斯，卡奥尼，科拉皮特罗和普雷特

本文回应了我的《网络自我：关系，过程和个人身份》一书中的四位评论员（戴安娜·提特延斯·迈耶斯，劳伦斯·卡奥尼，文森特·科拉皮特罗和斯科特·普拉特）（2019）。这本书关注和回应的方面包括反思性沟通（迈耶斯）；身份和完整性（Cahoone）；体现，自我欺骗和自治（Colapietro）; 以及社会地位和权力（普拉特）。我还在书中阐明了我的策略，即，将本体论框架从二元思维/身体或心理/动物主义的区分中转移出来，并接受这样一种观点，即关系过程本身就是特定种类的自然复合体（使用Justus的术语）布赫勒）。在此过程中，我的目标是避免从形而上地狭human地看待人类自我或人，并提供一个框架来用抽象和实际的术语对自我进行概念化。
