Is there a real you?
(Abstract)
What makes you, you? Is it how you think of
yourself, how others think of you, or something else entirely? Philosopher
Julian Baggini draws from philosophy and neuroscience to give a surprising
answer.
(Opinion)
“We don't have to find ourselves we have to
create it” says Julian Baggini. I consider his different vision on essence very
interesting.
I used to hear that through our lives we use
to discover ourselves learning about us as we were discovering the history of a
book. This idea is quite a mechanical vision, as we were built with different
kinds of things we still don’t know and which finally define who we are. It is
like history was already previously drawn and the future was not to write but
to discover.
I think everything is the result of
something else. Whatever we chose to do, we are changing something. Why?
Because when energy gives off, it always creates disorder.
Because disorder can be put in order,
ourselves can be changed in what we want to be. We just have to create it.
Therefore, put in order a disorder made of our experiences and knowledge.
Our disorganized choices we have taken in
the past, define who we are in the present order.
