In Search Of The Self | Simon Blackburn, Mary Midgley, Colin Blakemore
Philosophy For Our Times
Reconceptualizing the Self
This chapter examines the complex nature of the 'self,' contrasting the physical embodiment of individuals with the philosophical understanding of agency. It discusses how self-perception is influenced by both scientific insights and social interactions, questioning traditional views of selfhood and identity. The exploration highlights the interconnectedness of conscious actions, the brain's role, and the implications of language in shaping our understanding of what it means to be a person.
