The "Philosophy of Self" explores the nature of individual identity and consciousness. It examines questions like "What does it mean to be oneself?" and "How do personal experiences shape our understanding of who we are?" This philosophy often intersects with concepts from psychology, existentialism, and metaphysics. Key figures in this field include René Descartes, who famously stated "I think, therefore I am," emphasizing thought as a foundation of self. Other philosophers, like David Hume, argued that the self is a collection of perceptions rather than a singular entity. This ongoing inquiry helps us understand our place in the world.
