Philosophy For Our Times The Myth of the Self | Julian Baggini, Angie Hobbs, John Milbank
Mar 10, 2020
Join Julian Baggini, co-founder of The Philosophers' Magazine, Angie Hobbs, Professor of Philosophy at the University of Sheffield, and John Milbank, Director at the Centre of Theology and Philosophy, as they unravel the complexity of the self. They debate whether individuals can be truly categorized as good or bad and explore how our actions may not reflect a singular identity. The discussion challenges the notion of moral consistency, delves into Aristotelian views on character and choice, and examines Buddhist ideas of the self as fluid, fostering deep insights into personal responsibility.
