Philosophy of Self, Identity, and Belonging

C'est du sérieux

Would you like to understand how personal identity is formed and what makes a person remain the same throughout life despite constant change? Would you like to explore the nature of the self, consciousness, and what truly defines who we are? Join us for a workshop entitled “The Philosophy of the Self.” Understanding the self helps us develop self-awareness, better understand our relationships with others, reflect on our values and beliefs, and improve the quality of our interactions. Together, we will tackle profound questions about identity, consciousness, and language: Is the “self” a reality or an illusion? To what extent do the words we use shape the person we become? Drawing inspiration from great thinkers such as Descartes, Locke, and Sartre, we will connect these timeless philosophical ideas to our everyday lives and personal experiences.
