    UNDERSTANDING THE SELF QUIZ #1

    Name: ANGELIBETH PADO NOPIA Course/Section: HRM 1-A

    Using the table, differentiate at least (10) philosophical concepts of the self as proposed by different
    philosopher and thinkers.

    Philosophers Philosophical concept of the self

    1. Paul Churchland - The self is the brain. Mental states will be


    superseded by brain states.
    - Instead of dualism, he believe in materialism, or
    the concept that there is nothing but matter.
    Furthermore, our sense of self is derived from
    physical brain.

    2. Gilbert Ryle ( Analytic Philosopher) - The self is the way people behave.
    - He believed that self derives from behaviour,
    arguing that mind does not exist and hence cannot
    be the seat of self. We’re all just a jumble of
    behaviour brought on by the body’s physical
    functions.
    - He focuses on the behaviour wherein according
    to him what you act reflects who you are and
    makes you as a person.

    3. Jonh Locke - Personal Identity is made possible by self-


    consciousness
    - Aaccording to him, Personal identity is an issue
    of psychological continuity. And individual
    existence (or the self) was based on consciousness
    (i.e memory) rather than the substance of the soul
    or the body.

    4. Immanuel Kant - The self is a unifying subject, an organizing


    consciousness that makes intelligible experience
    possible
    - To him we all have an inner and exterior self,
    which together make up our consciousness. Our
    psychological stage and rational intellect make up
    our inner self. Our senses and the physical world
    are part of our outer self.
    - He also claims that representation takes place
    through our senses.
    5. David Hume - There is no “ self,” only a bundle of constantly
    changing perceptions passing through the theatre
    of our minds .
    - The concept of the self as articulated in his
    treatise of Human Nature revolves around self as a
    collection of perceptions.
    -According to him, there are two(2)
    categorizations about self. First is impression, it is
    the direct experience with the world. Then we
    have the ideas wherein we don’t have a direct
    experience but it is yet to experience.

    6. Plato - The self is an immortal soul


    - In several of his monologues, he claimed that a
    person’s actual self is the reason or intelligence
    that makes up their soul and is separable from
    their body.
    - According to him, there are 3 components of soul
    which are Rational, Spirited and Appetitive.
    Rational helps you to choose or decide on what is
    right and important. Then, a spirited soul is also
    about a decisions for our emotions. We should
    control it properly. Lastly the Appetitive soul is
    about our basic needs or desires in life.

    7. St. Agustine - The Soul is the Essence of the self


    - He sees the self as being open to a relationship
    with God. He has two ways of conceptualizing the
    self as radically oriented to God, namely self-
    presentation and self- realization.
    - According to him, we should take care of
    ourselves because we do not know what might
    happen to us. He also said that the body is the
    part of self that the body is the part of self that
    decides with God while the soul is immortal one
    and part of ourselves that stays with God.

    8. Sigmud Freud - The self is multi-player


    - He believed the Ego( rational and pragmatic
    portion of our personality) to the “ self,” and its
    purpose is to balance the demands of (instinctual)
    id and (moral) superego in the practical context of
    reality.

    9. Socrates - He was the first philosopher who questioned


    one’s own character.
    - According to him. There is a duality of man which
    is the body and soul. The body is the
    imperfections, flaws and a temporary thing while
    the soul is the one who stays or constant.

    10. Maurice Merleau-Ponty - The self is embodied subjectivity


    - According to him, mind and body cannot be
    separated because these two help us in knowing
    ourselves. He also said that what you see in
    yourself means it is who you are. He doesn’t
    believe that there is a soul.
