Who Are You. Personal Identity, Brains, and the Selves

This course invites you to explore one of the most intimate and puzzling questions in human life: what it means to be a self. We begin with the basics: you are a biological organism, a living body with a brain that keeps you alive. But you are also a person, a phase of abilities and experiences that emerges only when the brain develops the right capacities.
