The soul continues to exist even without the body, as the self is purely the soul. 1 PRELIMS | UTS 100 – UNDERSTANDING THE SELF RENE DESCARTES (1596) ○ Overlapping memories connect the past and present self. His famous statement "I think, therefore, I ○ Memory is the key to verifying one’s am" (Cogito ergo sum) emphasizes the role identity over time of consciousness in proving existence. ○ The act of doubting everything proves CONSCIOUSNESS AND IDENTITY the existence of the mind. ○ Anything perceived through the senses Consciousness is the awareness of what can be questioned, but the fact that one occurs in one’s mind. doubts cannot be doubted. Locke rejected the idea that the brain is responsible for consciousness. DESCARTES’ METHODIC DOUBT Personal identity is found in consciousness, not in the brain or body. Thoughts shape one’s reality (e.g., "I think I Consciousness can be transferred between am strong; therefore, I am strong"). different substances (body or soul), Humans have the unique ability to question preserving identity. their existence and purpose, and they create If consciousness is lost (e.g., through answers to their own musings. forgetfulness), the person changes, but the MIND-BODY DICHOTOMY same soul remains. ○ Locke argued that the same soul is not The mind and body are separate yet closely necessary for maintaining identity over connected. time if consciousness is lost.

The self is a complex set of successive JOHN LOCKE (1632-1704) impressions or perceptions, not a constant entity. “What worries you, masters you.” ○ The soul is a product of imagination, and An English philosopher believed that the concept of the self is shaped by identity is not limited to the mind, soul, or memory and imagination. body. He introduced the memory theory of PERCEPTIONS AND IDENTITY identity: ○ A person is the same as they were in the What a person thinks or feels in a moment past as long as they can remember defines who they are at that moment. something from that past. If a person feels happy, they are happy. 2 PRELIMS | UTS 100 – UNDERSTANDING THE SELF IMPRESSION AND IDEAS UNIFIED CONSCIOUSNESS Impressions are immediate experiences Kant argued that the mind unifies perceived through the senses. sensations and thoughts into coherent Ideas are mental recreations of impressions, experiences. even when the experience has passed.

An Austrian neurologist, developed Psychoanalytic Theory, which introduced a TYPES OF SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS tripartite division of the mind: id, ego, and superego. ❑ EMPIRICAL SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS ○ Awareness of one's inner sense (moods, TRIPARTITE DIVISION OF THE MIND feelings, sensations). ○ Requires being phenomenally ID conscious to experience these states.

Instead, Ryle argues that talking about the CONFLICT BETWEEN ID AND SUPEREGO mind is simply talking about behavior.
