Philosophy of Self

The philosophy of self explores questions about what makes us who we are—our identity, consciousness, and sense of existence. It examines how we perceive ourselves, what constitutes our mind and spirit, and how we relate to others and the world. Philosophers debate whether the self is a fixed core or a flowing, changing experience, and how aspects like memory, perception, and social interactions shape our sense of being. Ultimately, it seeks to understand the nature of personal identity and what it means to be a conscious, self-aware individual.
