    This document provides an introduction to a course on understanding the self from different perspectives. It begins by posing questions about what comprises an individual's self, including whether the soul exists separately from the body. The learning outcomes are then outlined, which are to discuss and compare conceptualizations of the self from various disciplines, examine influences that shape the self, and develop a theory of one's own self and identity. The first topic to be covered is the philosophical perspective, focusing on key philosophers from ancient to modern times and their assumptions about the self.

    INTRODUCTION

    “The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination.” - Carl
    Rogers

    How old are you? For that number of years of existence, have you ever ask yourself the
    question, “What is the self?” This unit focuses in answering that very question. Hang on, come
    with me, and let us take a tour in the different perspective of the self.

    https://ui-ex.com/download.html

    What encompasses your “self”? Do you believe in the existence of the soul or spirit? When our
    body dies, does the soul continue to live? If the soul truly exists, how does it communicate with
    the body? Where does it enter and exit the body? Do we know who we are? Are we conscious
    about it? Do we have a true and false selves? What is the “me” self and the “I” self? These
    questions are answered by our philosophers, sociologists, anthropologists, psychologists and
    western and eastern thought theorists.

    After the tour in the various perspective, you will be able to truly understand your “self’.” By
    then, you will be able to answer without hesitation the question, “WHAT IS MY “SELF?” This
    unit will be completed in 17 hours.

    LEARNING OUTCOMES

    At the end of this unit, you will be able to:

    1. discuss the different representations and conceptualizations of the self from various
    disciplinal perspectives;
    2. compare and contrast how the self has been exemplified across different perspectives;
    3. examine the different influences, factors and forces that shape the self;
    and
    4. demonstrate critical and reflective thought in analyzing the development of one’s self and
    identity by developing a theory of the self.

    TOPIC 1: PHILOSOPHICAL PERSPECTIVE


    Dr. Kathlyn Mata, RGC

    “To find yourself, think for yourself.” – Socrates

    In efforts to appreciate and understand reality, and retort to


    persistent questions of inquisitiveness, including the inquiry of
    self, it was the Greeks who earnestly probed legends and folklore,
    and turned away from them.

    This topic on the philosophical perspective of the self (which will


    utilize 3 hours) will then allow you to re-examine its key movers
    for you to be able to identify the most imperative assumptions
    made by philosophers from the ancient to the contemporary
    times.

    PHILOSOPHERS’ PERSPECTIVE OF THE SELF

    The way you choose to spend your life contributes to the development of your identity and self-
    understanding. Your past is a contributory factor to who you are today, but who you will be
    tomorrow greatly depends on your perspective about yourself.

    1. SOCRATES (470-399 B.C.)

    He explored his philosophy of immortality in the days following his trial and before his sentence
    to death was executed.

    According to him, an unexamined life is not worth living.


    This statement is reflected in his idea of the self.
    He believed in dualism that aside from the physical body (material substance), each person has
    an immortal soul (immaterial substance).

    The body belongs to the physical realm and the soul to the ideal realm. When you die, your
    body dies but not your soul. There is a life after the death of your physical body. There is a
    world after death.

    According to him, in order for you to have a good life, you must live a good life, a life with a
    purpose, and that purpose is for you to do well. Then there you will be happy after your body
    dies.
