| Jan 30 at 11:37 | comment | added | Scott Rowe | In writings and talks about Advaita Vedanta, Self Realization and Nonduality, 'ego' refers to the part of the mind that sees itself as separate, that acts for its own benefit, and tends to use a lot of concepts, discursive thought, argumentative reasoning. In other words, pretty much what you see here, ha ha :-) And everywhere. The part that needs to be mastered in order to be what you can fully be. | |

| Jan 29 at 21:16 | comment | added | Robbie Goodwin | Could you re-phrase that to include broadly what you see as the best - perhaps best two or three - definitions, and why they leave you unsatisfied? Correct me, and I think SE is not meant to handle Questions like 'how philosophers have defined ego?' | |
| Jan 29 at 20:13 | comment | added | Hashim Aziz | The ego as defined by psychoanalysts is very different to that defined by Islam (and by extension, Muslims like Iqbal). | |

| Jan 29 at 9:39 | comment | added | Jo Wehler | @Nihilist Unfortunatley I do not know whether Iqbal gave a definition of his understanding of ego. I assume that as a poet and mystic Iqbal made again a different use of the term. I assume the work of the orientalist Annemarie Schimmel builds a bridge between Iqbal and European, in particular German conceptions, see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annemarie_Schimmel | |

| Jan 29 at 9:27 | comment | added | Rabail Anjum | The concept of ego by Iqbal suggests it as self. I might be wrong but that was what I studied. | |
