| Unit Description |
What makes you the person you are? Is it your experiences? Perhaps it's your body? Or is it your mind? This unit is in three parts. Part 1 concerns the questions of what it is to be a person at any given time. Part 2 concerns the question of what it is to be the same person across time - what is it that endures through vast changes in body, mind and consciousness throughout one's life? Part 3 is an introduction to Moral Psychology. It will cover such topics as agency, the emotions and self-deception. |
