Abstract

Ego is the primary and pivotal concept of Iqbal's philosophy. All dimensions of human personality have originated from this very concept. Taking an analogy from modern biological sciences we can say that ego in human personality is like a nucleus in the cell. Iqbal himself has given it the name of enlightened point of consciousness in human personality which keeps the human personality composed and organized. It is the human ego which is the essence of human consciousness and life. Elaborating the very nature of human ego, Iqbal has talked about various aspects i.e. efficient and appreciative self. This article elaborates these various dimensions of human ego with the help of symbols and concepts of modern sciences.
