PHI 268 THE SELF

An exploration of the nature of the self from epistemological, metaphysical, and ethical perspectives. Is there "privileged access" to certain facts about ourselves? Is the self physical? Mental? What are "weak will" and "bad faith"? What does the prescription "know thyself" amount to? Readings from classical and contemporary sources.
