PHIL 350 - The Self in Question

Institution:

Willamette University

Subject:

Description:

An examination of the notion of the self from three different points of view. Is the self an object of some sort? If not, in what does self-knowledge consist? Is the self an activity? If so, are there better and worse ways of engaging in that activity? Is the self an illusion? If so, what accounts for the persistence of our sense of self? How might that illusion be seen for what it is? Readings from traditional and contemporary sources in Eastern and Western philosophy.
