    Philosophers One sentence definition of self


    Socrates A true task of philosopher is to know one self
    The self has three elements of the soul: Reason,
    Plato
    Physical Appetite, Spirit or Passion.
    It is only possible to understand who a person is
    St. Augustine when they have understood how they stand in
    relation to God
    the self as a thinking entity and the self as a
    Descartes
    physical body.
    The person is a thinking entity, reasonable and
    Locke
    reflecting on its identity, then there is a self
    The self is just a result of the humanistic
    Hume imagination and thoughts, that build up a person’s
    characteristics.
    Kant The people are the ones to create their own self.
    There are three layers of the self: Conscious,
    Freud
    Unconscious, and Preconscious.
    The self is best understood as a pattern of behavior,
    Ryle the capacity of a person to act and make a move in
    certain ways and conditions.
    The eliminative materialism or the idea of the self
    Churchland is inseparable from the brain and the physiology of
    the body; the self is the brain.
    The self is a product of the past experiences that he
    had, and he builds up his identity through all those
    Merleau-Ponty
    experiences in the past in which a person made
    decisions and such.
