2. UNIT 1 : THE SELF FROM VARIOUS PERSPECTIVE, MODULE 1 : FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF PHILOSOPHY

3. INTRODUCTION: IN THE COURSE OF HISTORY, PHILOSOPHERS HAVE GIVEN AN IMPRESSIVE VARIETY OF ANSWERS TO THE QUESTION, “WHAT IS SELF?”. SOME OF THEM EVEN ARGUED THAT THERE IS NO SUCH THING AT ALL.

4. THE PHILOSOPHY OF SELF IS THE STUDY OF MANY CONDITIONS OF IDENTITY THAT MAKE ONE SUBJECT OF EXPERIENCE DISTINCT FROM OTHER EXPERIENCES. THE SELF IS SOMETIMES UNDERSTOOD AS A UNIFIED BEING ESSENTIALLY CONNECTED TO CONCIOUSNESS, AWARENESS AND AGENCY

5. PHILOSOPHY - ACADEMIC DISCIPLINE CONCERNED WITH INVESTIGATING THE NATURE OF SIGNIFICANCE OF ORDINARY AND SCIENTIFIC BELIEFS.

6. - THE GREEKS WERE THE ONES WHO SERIOUSLY QUESTIONED MYTHS AND MOVED AWAY FROM THEM TO UNDERSTAND REALITY AND RESPOND TO PERENNIAL QUESTIONS OF CURIOSITY INCLUDING THE QUESTION OF SELF.

7. THE PRE- SOCRATES ARCHE- ORIGIN OR SOURCE/ THE “SOUL”/ THE “PRIMAL MATTER”. THE SOUL’S MOVEMENT IS THE ULTIMATE ARCHE OF ALL THE MOVEMENT. ARCHE HAS NO ORIGIN OUTSIDE ITSELF AND CANNOT BE DESTROYED. EXPLAINS THE MULTIPLICITY OF THINGS IN THE WORLD.

8. SOCRATES CONCERNED WITH THE PROBLEM OF SELF. ‘THE WORST THING THAT CAN HAPPEN TO ANYONE IS TO LIVE BUT DIE INSIDE’

9. SOCRATES MAN = BODY + SOUL INDIVIDUAL= IMPERFECT / PERMANENT (BODY) + PERFECT & PERMANENT (SOUL)

13. Rene DESCARTES FATHER OF MODERN PHILOSOPHY HUMAN PERSON = BODY + MIND “I AM A THINKING THING… A THING THAT DOUBTS, UNDERSTAND, AFFIRMS, DENIES, WILLS, REFUSES, IMAGINE AND PERCEIVES.”

14. David HUME DISAGREES WITH THE ALL OTHER AFOREMENTIONED PHILOSOPHERS YOU KNOW THAT OTHER PEOPLE AARE HUMANS NOT BECAUSE YOU HAVE SEEN THEIR SOUL, BUT BECAUSE YOU SEE THEM, HEAR THEM, FEEL THEM, ETC.

15. David HUME HE WANT TO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A UNIFIED, COHERENT SELF, SOUL, MIND, ETC. BUT ACTUALLY IT IS ALL JUST A COMBINATION OF EXPERIENCES

16. Immanuel KANT AGREES WITH HUME THAT EVERYTHING STARTS WITH PERCEPTION / SENSATION OF IMPRESSIONS. THE SELF IS NOT ONLY PERSONALITY BUT ALSO THE SEAT OF KNOWLEDGE

17. Gilbert RYLE DENIES THE INTERNAL, NON-PHYSICAL SELF. “WHAT TRULY MATTERS IS THE BEHAVIOR THAT A PERSON MANIFEST IN HIS DAY-TO-DAY LIFE.”

18. MERLEAU-PONTY A PHENOMENOLOGIST WHO SAYS THE MIND-BODY BIFURCATION IS AN INVALID PROBLEM. MIND AND BOSY ARE INSEPARABLE “ONES BODY IS HIS OPENING TOWARD HIS EXISTENCE TO THE WORLD.”
