Voices plural? I doubt most of society experiences such a phenomenon, and if they do they’re not talking about it.
- adamjb 6y agoThe decomposition of the self into competing voices is a fairly common idea. It's present in phrases like "part of me thinks/wants X" or "I am of two minds about X". It's a key part of the whole Freudian id, ego, superego thing and related motifs like the devil on one shoulder and the angel on the other.
