Description
The Ego Trick by Julian Baggini What is the nature of the self? Is it a fixed entity or a fluid concept that changes over time and place? In this thought-provoking exploration, philosopher Julian Baggini sets out to answer these fundamental questions. Drawing on philosophy, anthropology, sociology, psychology, and neurology, he examines real-life cases of lost memory, personality disorders, and personal transformation. Baggini's inquiry is both candid and engaging, as he shares his own experiences and delves into the stories of others who have struggled with their sense of identity. By exploring the complexities of human consciousness, he challenges readers to rethink their understanding of themselves and their place in the world. Through a fascinating quest that spans centuries and disciplines, Baggini reveals the intricate and often mysterious nature of the ego. The result is a book that will leave you questioning your own sense of self and encouraging you to see yourself in a new light.
