How many.
Under 'being' in the Index of 'History and Spirit' by Joel Kovel one finds five (5) categories, neatly separated. One also finds 'being-over', this would make six (6) categories altogether of 'being' (but this 'being-over' is given very little space).
How about the Ego. Whether one 'has' such a thing or not, there are five (5) categories of Ego in the mentioned text, neatly separated by way of paragraphing in the Index.
At last, the self. How many of you are there, the reader ? However you do the reckoning, four (4) separate categories of 'self' are found in the Index of the mentioned book (neatly separated).
Do you know by now how to get schizophrenia, the reader ? The term means 'split' (schizo) 'mind' (phrenos). Whatever might the phrenos be, the splitting has been done very thoroughly, and obviously with a great deal of attention to the detail in this text.

"The Alger Hiss Chair at Bard College was previously occupied by Joel Kovel, a choice much more in keeping with the ostensible goals of those who paid good money to establish it. Kovel, a Green Party activist and erstwhile psychiatrist, is the author of �Red Hunting in the Promised Land: Anticommunism And The Making of America�, [etc]
