    Rene Descartes established his philosophical views on true knowledge and the concept of self through his famous principle of "I think, therefore I am." He explained that in order to gain true knowledge, one must doubt everything, including one's own existence. Doubting makes one aware that they are a thinking being, and this awareness proves they exist. The essence of human identity is the ability to be self-conscious. Descartes declared that the essential self is the thinking entity of the soul, which is non-physical, immortal, and independent of the physical body and laws of nature. The soul can exist without the body, similar to how a clock's mechanism can function when not being watched.

    RENE DESCARTES’S

    °A French Philosopher, mathematicians


    and considered the founder of modern
    philosophy.
    ° Decartes , famous principle the “cogito ,
    ergo, sum” – I think , therefore I exist’
    established his philosophical views on
    “true knowledge” and concept of self.
    • He explained that in order to gain
    true knowledge, one must doubt
    everything even own existence.
    • Doubting makes someone aware that
    they are thinking being this, they exist.
    The essence of existing as a human
    identity is the possibility of being aware
    of our selves: being self-conscious in
    this way is integral to having a personal
    identity. Conversely, it would be
    impossible to be self+conscious if we
    did not have a personal identity of
    which to be conscious. In other words,
    the essence of self is being a thinking
    thing.
    •The Self is a dynamic
    entity that engages in
    mental operations-
    thinking, reasoning,and
    perceiving processes. In
    addition to this, self-
    identity is dependent on
    the awareness in engaging
    with those mental
    operations.
    •He declared that the essential self of the self as the
    thinking entity is radically, different from the physical
    body. The thinking self or soul is a non-material,
    immortal, conscious being, independent of the body
    physical laws of the universe while the physical body is a
    material, mortal,non-thinking entity fully governed by the
    physical law of nature.
    •He also maintained that the soul and the body are
    independent of one another and each can exist and
    function without the other. In cases in which people are
    sleeping or comatose, their bodies continue to function
    even though their minds are not thinking much like the
    mechanism of a clock.
    ■ THE CONCEPT OF THE SELF
    ACCORDING TO:
    •SocrateS
    “The Soul and The Self
    To know Thy Self”
    •SoCRaTIC MeThod
    “aSkInG”
    •David Hume
    Hume strongly believes and considered that there is no such
    self in a personas in carefully examining Our self the results
    of finding impressions and perceptions in ourselves which are not
    unified as such our self are just humanistic imagination that
    build up our characters.
    •St. Agustine
    “According to st.agsutine the human Nature
    CoMpoSed of Two RealMS”
    * God as the source of all reality and truth.
    * tHe sinfulness of man.

    • imannuEl kant
    For Kant, self is the one that makes consciousness within a
    person in order for him/her gain insights and knowledge and make
    sense of everything therefore, people are the one who creates their
    self that constructs its own reality and makes consciousness
    understandable and unique..
