Activity1.2.what Is Self - UTS

The document discusses different philosophers' views on the concept of self: 1) Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle viewed the self as an immortal soul that exists over time and comprises the dualistic nature of humans as both body and soul. 2) St. Augustine, Descartes, and Kant supported Socrates' view of the self as an immortal soul, with Descartes categorizing self into distinct thinking and physical entities. 3) Hume, Nietzsche, Ryle, and Churchland rejected the idea of a unified self, with Hume seeing it as a bundle of perceptions and Nietzsche claiming humans must craft their own identity.
