PHIL 224 - Self and Society

What is self ? What do we mean by ‘consciousness’ or ‘personal identity’ ? Is the self a social being, or is it an entity within society that stands apart from it ? Through selected readings drawn from the meeting-points and confrontations between philosophy and fields such as psychology, anthropology and sociology, this course investigates the nature of the self and its place within that plurality of selves we call society.
