Description
The Constitution of Selves by Marya Schechtman explores two fundamental questions about personal identity: who we are and how we come to be that person. Analytic philosophy has traditionally focused on the first question, but Schechtman argues that this overlooks the importance of understanding how our identities develop over time. Schechtman's approach emphasizes the role of autobiographical narratives in shaping our sense of self. By examining these narratives and their relationship to facts about ourselves, others, and the world around us, she develops a new perspective on personal identity. This nuanced exploration has significant implications for our understanding of who we are and how we exist. Through her work, Schechtman challenges readers to reconsider the nature of personal identity and its connection to our experiences and relationships.
