Below is an excerpt from the first of the two articles listed above together with the image referenced in the excerpt. Within the larger philosophical question of Who are we as human beings, Ego Development Theory addresses the question of Who am I as an individual?

"People have pondered the question of what it means to be a human and how we fit into nature since the dawn of history. There have always been theories of how to raise the young from helpless newborns into functioning adult members of a given society. Indeed, every society throughout history has created stories for its people about where they came from, what their purpose is, and what comes after life. Paul Gauguin (1897/1898) also posed these very questions in his famous artistic rendition of The stations of life. They are listed in the upper left corner as “D’ou venons nous? Que sommes nous?” and “Ou allons nous?” (Where do we come from? Who are we? Where are we going?)"
