The crystallization of the modern self can be found in Augustine's writings. He developed a discourse wherein central currents from Antiquity's reflections, religions, understanding of the world and of humanity are brought together and crystallized with the main components of modern psychological self - knowledge : cognition, emotion and conation. Such a discourse provides the fundamental phenomenological material whereby one acquires the possibility of being able to think, to feel and to strive for something in a consciously reflective way. In fact it is only when the will is crystallized as an independent discursive component of understanding that we possess the complete possibility for being a self in the modern sense. Augustine opened the gates to modern self - consciousness but he also infused his discourse with a double - bind, which is still troubling to our contemporary self - understanding and self - consciousness.
