Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the nature of the self through the lens of philosophy, psychology, and metaphysics. It examines the historical theories of the self, from Descartes' cogito to contemporary discussions of the body-mind problem and multiple personality. The author argues that the self is not simply a collection of experiences or the sum of its cognitive, emotional, and volitional acts. Rather, it is a dynamic and unified entity that transcends these individual components. The book explores the implications of this view for our understanding of personal identity, free will, and the relationship between mind and body. It concludes that the self is not a static entity but rather an ongoing process of becoming, constantly evolving and adapting to its environment. The insights offered in this book challenge traditional notions of the self and offer a new understanding of our own existence and place in the world.
