<br> In order to better assess the equivocations behind the “self”, we will first investigate the origins of such a concept in Modern philosophy (Descartes) and then address various forms of criticism towards the conception of ego considered as self-enclosed, self-transparent and self-sufficient fundament of our being. These criticisms will be considered mostly from the perspective of phenomenological authors such as Heidegger, Sartre, Merleau-Ponty and Lévinas as well as from the perspective of narrative identity<br> <br> Our investigation will mostly focus on the relation between self and other. We will ask to what extant does selfhood involve interpersonal relations, how is it embedded in a social environment. It will be argued that one cannot be a self on one´s own, but only as a part of intersubjective relations of mutual recognition. <br> <br> Attention: Monday, October 22, 2018, the class is cancelled, because I present a paper at SPEP conference in the USA. |
