Wat definieert jou? Is het hoe je jezelf ziet, hoe anderen jou zien of nog iets heel anders? In deze presentatie komt Julian Baggini op basis van filosofie en neurologie tot een verrassend antwoord.

Wat is je echte zelf?

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.
