Description

Using an interdisciplinary approach to the problem of the self, this study focuses on a gap left by previous philosophers. This shortcoming is related to the nature of the self to commit errors that become part of the identity of the self. These errors stain the self and make "I" what it is. This study shines light on the self that will give a reader a more balanced understanding of it. Fictional literature will be invoked to illustrated features of the self associated with errors. The book is divided into two sections: a review of selected theories of the self and a reconsideration of the self and errors producing being.
