Narrative Identity Impairment in Neural Implantation Intervention Techniques:From a Relational Perspective
For a long time,the claim that"neural implantation intervention techniques cause personal identity impairment"has been intertwined with daily discussions of neuroethics.However,few have distinguished what kind of personal identity these neural implant interventions might impair.From a narrative approach,two concepts of"narrative identity"are distinguished:narrative identity from a self-perspective and narrative identity from a relational perspec-tive.The relational narrative identity emphasizes that identity is not merely a purely subjective interpretation and reflection on one's self-characteristics,life experiences,or behavioral experiences,but should also include a dialectical process of negotiating a minimum level of understanding and affirmation with others.On this basis,the crux of how neural implantation interventions cause identity impairment lies in the narrative subject losing the ability to construct a relational narrative identity.Patients should actively work to repair the ability to construct an internalized,dynamic life story of the self,as well as the abil-ity to negotiate understanding and affirmation with others.Only by actively participating in understanding and positioning one's role and status in relation to others can one consolidate and reshape self-identity,achieving a balance between self-belonging and belonging with others.
