Cosa ti rende te stesso? Quello che pensi di te stesso, o quello che pensano gli altri, o qualcosa di completamente diverso? In questo discorso, Julian Baggini si appoggia alla filosofia e alle neuroscienze per dare una risposta sorprendente.

C'è un vero "te stesso?"

Personal identity is often seen as a stable, unchanging core, but evidence from philosophy and neuroscience challenges this view. Like water shaped by its molecules, a person is a collection of memories, beliefs, and experiences, constantly shifting and evolving. Brain science finds no central 'self,' only interacting processes that create the feeling of unity. This perspective suggests that a true self is something continuously shaped and partly created throughout life.
