Self A Philosophical Inquiry 3 Educational Policy and Administration

Being aware of who we are of our differences from others and of our capacity to make decisions espouse values and hold commitments we take it for granted that we have a self Yet this common-sense assumption of selfhood becomes puzzling when subjected to philosophical scrutiny Two facts we need to note first we are compelled by social norms to act and think in certain ways and second our cognition feeling and volition depend on the functioning of our brain We are thus both social and physical beings How then and in what sense is it possible to have a self

Our module begins with a brief introduction to major theories of self Then the above-mentioned problem will be elaborated and some suggested solutions will be examined Further with this vantage point we shall investigate into the notion of moral agency Helpful insights will be drawn from neuroscience cognitive science and various social theories but the approach is basically philosophical in that the main goal is not to set out causal explanations but rather to critically examine assumptions and as thoroughly as possible to understand the significance of relevant issues and contentions

Self A Philosophical Inquiry 3 Educational Policy and Administration

Being aware of who we are of our differences from others and of our capacity to make decisions espouse values and hold commitments we take it for granted that we have a self Yet this common-sense assumption of selfhood becomes puzzling when subjected to philosophical scrutiny Two facts we need to note first we are compelled by social norms to act and think in certain ways and second our cognition feeling and volition depend on the functioning of our brain We are thus both social and physical beings How then and in what sense is it possible to have a self

Our module begins with a brief introduction to major theories of self Then the above-mentioned problem will be elaborated and some suggested solutions will be examined Further with this vantage point we shall investigate into the notion of moral agency Helpful insights will be drawn from neuroscience cognitive science and various social theories but the approach is basically philosophical in that the main goal is not to set out causal explanations but rather to critically examine assumptions and as thoroughly as possible to understand the significance of relevant issues and contentions

Self A Philosophical Inquiry 3 Educational Policy and Administration

Being aware of who we are of our differences from others and of our capacity to make decisions espouse values and hold commitments we take it for granted that we have a self Yet this common-sense assumption of selfhood becomes puzzling when subjected to philosophical scrutiny Two facts we need to note first we are compelled by social norms to act and think in certain ways and second our cognition feeling and volition depend on the functioning of our brain We are thus both social and physical beings How then and in what sense is it possible to have a self

Our module begins with a brief introduction to major theories of self Then the above-mentioned problem will be elaborated and some suggested solutions will be examined Further with this vantage point we shall investigate into the notion of moral agency Helpful insights will be drawn from neuroscience cognitive science and various social theories but the approach is basically philosophical in that the main goal is not to set out causal explanations but rather to critically examine assumptions and as thoroughly as possible to understand the significance of relevant issues and contentions

Self A Philosophical Inquiry 3 Educational Policy and Administration

Being aware of who we are of our differences from others and of our capacity to make decisions espouse values and hold commitments we take it for granted that we have a self Yet this common-sense assumption of selfhood becomes puzzling when subjected to philosophical scrutiny Two facts we need to note first we are compelled by social norms to act and think in certain ways and second our cognition feeling and volition depend on the functioning of our brain We are thus both social and physical beings How then and in what sense is it possible to have a self

Our module begins with a brief introduction to major theories of self Then the above-mentioned problem will be elaborated and some suggested solutions will be examined Further with this vantage point we shall investigate into the notion of moral agency Helpful insights will be drawn from neuroscience cognitive science and various social theories but the approach is basically philosophical in that the main goal is not to set out causal explanations but rather to critically examine assumptions and as thoroughly as possible to understand the significance of relevant issues and contentions

Self A Philosophical Inquiry 3 Educational Policy and Administration

Being aware of who we are of our differences from others and of our capacity to make decisions espouse values and hold commitments we take it for granted that we have a self Yet this common-sense assumption of selfhood becomes puzzling when subjected to philosophical scrutiny Two facts we need to note first we are compelled by social norms to act and think in certain ways and second our cognition feeling and volition depend on the functioning of our brain We are thus both social and physical beings How then and in what sense is it possible to have a self

Our module begins with a brief introduction to major theories of self Then the above-mentioned problem will be elaborated and some suggested solutions will be examined Further with this vantage point we shall investigate into the notion of moral agency Helpful insights will be drawn from neuroscience cognitive science and various social theories but the approach is basically philosophical in that the main goal is not to set out causal explanations but rather to critically examine assumptions and as thoroughly as possible to understand the significance of relevant issues and contentions

Self A Philosophical Inquiry 3 Educational Policy and Administration

Being aware of who we are of our differences from others and of our capacity to make decisions espouse values and hold commitments we take it for granted that we have a self Yet this common-sense assumption of selfhood becomes puzzling when subjected to philosophical scrutiny Two facts we need to note first we are compelled by social norms to act and think in certain ways and second our cognition feeling and volition depend on the functioning of our brain We are thus both social and physical beings How then and in what sense is it possible to have a self

Our module begins with a brief introduction to major theories of self Then the above-mentioned problem will be elaborated and some suggested solutions will be examined Further with this vantage point we shall investigate into the notion of moral agency Helpful insights will be drawn from neuroscience cognitive science and various social theories but the approach is basically philosophical in that the main goal is not to set out causal explanations but rather to critically examine assumptions and as thoroughly as possible to understand the significance of relevant issues and contentions

Self A Philosophical Inquiry 3 Educational Policy and Administration

Being aware of who we are of our differences from others and of our capacity to make decisions espouse values and hold commitments we take it for granted that we have a self Yet this common-sense assumption of selfhood becomes puzzling when subjected to philosophical scrutiny Two facts we need to note first we are compelled by social norms to act and think in certain ways and second our cognition feeling and volition depend on the functioning of our brain We are thus both social and physical beings How then and in what sense is it possible to have a self

Our module begins with a brief introduction to major theories of self Then the above-mentioned problem will be elaborated and some suggested solutions will be examined Further with this vantage point we shall investigate into the notion of moral agency Helpful insights will be drawn from neuroscience cognitive science and various social theories but the approach is basically philosophical in that the main goal is not to set out causal explanations but rather to critically examine assumptions and as thoroughly as possible to understand the significance of relevant issues and contentions

Self A Philosophical Inquiry 3 Educational Policy and Administration

Being aware of who we are of our differences from others and of our capacity to make decisions espouse values and hold commitments we take it for granted that we have a self Yet this common-sense assumption of selfhood becomes puzzling when subjected to philosophical scrutiny Two facts we need to note first we are compelled by social norms to act and think in certain ways and second our cognition feeling and volition depend on the functioning of our brain We are thus both social and physical beings How then and in what sense is it possible to have a self

Our module begins with a brief introduction to major theories of self Then the above-mentioned problem will be elaborated and some suggested solutions will be examined Further with this vantage point we shall investigate into the notion of moral agency Helpful insights will be drawn from neuroscience cognitive science and various social theories but the approach is basically philosophical in that the main goal is not to set out causal explanations but rather to critically examine assumptions and as thoroughly as possible to understand the significance of relevant issues and contentions

Self A Philosophical Inquiry 3 Educational Policy and Administration

Being aware of who we are of our differences from others and of our capacity to make decisions espouse values and hold commitments we take it for granted that we have a self Yet this common-sense assumption of selfhood becomes puzzling when subjected to philosophical scrutiny Two facts we need to note first we are compelled by social norms to act and think in certain ways and second our cognition feeling and volition depend on the functioning of our brain We are thus both social and physical beings How then and in what sense is it possible to have a self

Our module begins with a brief introduction to major theories of self Then the above-mentioned problem will be elaborated and some suggested solutions will be examined Further with this vantage point we shall investigate into the notion of moral agency Helpful insights will be drawn from neuroscience cognitive science and various social theories but the approach is basically philosophical in that the main goal is not to set out causal explanations but rather to critically examine assumptions and as thoroughly as possible to understand the significance of relevant issues and contentions

Self A Philosophical Inquiry 3 Educational Policy and Administration

Being aware of who we are of our differences from others and of our capacity to make decisions espouse values and hold commitments we take it for granted that we have a self Yet this common-sense assumption of selfhood becomes puzzling when subjected to philosophical scrutiny Two facts we need to note first we are compelled by social norms to act and think in certain ways and second our cognition feeling and volition depend on the functioning of our brain We are thus both social and physical beings How then and in what sense is it possible to have a self

Our module begins with a brief introduction to major theories of self Then the above-mentioned problem will be elaborated and some suggested solutions will be examined Further with this vantage point we shall investigate into the notion of moral agency Helpful insights will be drawn from neuroscience cognitive science and various social theories but the approach is basically philosophical in that the main goal is not to set out causal explanations but rather to critically examine assumptions and as thoroughly as possible to understand the significance of relevant issues and contentions

Self A Philosophical Inquiry 3 Educational Policy and Administration

Being aware of who we are of our differences from others and of our capacity to make decisions espouse values and hold commitments we take it for granted that we have a self Yet this common-sense assumption of selfhood becomes puzzling when subjected to philosophical scrutiny Two facts we need to note first we are compelled by social norms to act and think in certain ways and second our cognition feeling and volition depend on the functioning of our brain We are thus both social and physical beings How then and in what sense is it possible to have a self

Our module begins with a brief introduction to major theories of self Then the above-mentioned problem will be elaborated and some suggested solutions will be examined Further with this vantage point we shall investigate into the notion of moral agency Helpful insights will be drawn from neuroscience cognitive science and various social theories but the approach is basically philosophical in that the main goal is not to set out causal explanations but rather to critically examine assumptions and as thoroughly as possible to understand the significance of relevant issues and contentions

Self A Philosophical Inquiry 3 Educational Policy and Administration

Being aware of who we are of our differences from others and of our capacity to make decisions espouse values and hold commitments we take it for granted that we have a self Yet this common-sense assumption of selfhood becomes puzzling when subjected to philosophical scrutiny Two facts we need to note first we are compelled by social norms to act and think in certain ways and second our cognition feeling and volition depend on the functioning of our brain We are thus both social and physical beings How then and in what sense is it possible to have a self

Our module begins with a brief introduction to major theories of self Then the above-mentioned problem will be elaborated and some suggested solutions will be examined Further with this vantage point we shall investigate into the notion of moral agency Helpful insights will be drawn from neuroscience cognitive science and various social theories but the approach is basically philosophical in that the main goal is not to set out causal explanations but rather to critically examine assumptions and as thoroughly as possible to understand the significance of relevant issues and contentions

Self A Philosophical Inquiry 3 Educational Policy and Administration

Being aware of who we are of our differences from others and of our capacity to make decisions espouse values and hold commitments we take it for granted that we have a self Yet this common-sense assumption of selfhood becomes puzzling when subjected to philosophical scrutiny Two facts we need to note first we are compelled by social norms to act and think in certain ways and second our cognition feeling and volition depend on the functioning of our brain We are thus both social and physical beings How then and in what sense is it possible to have a self

Our module begins with a brief introduction to major theories of self Then the above-mentioned problem will be elaborated and some suggested solutions will be examined Further with this vantage point we shall investigate into the notion of moral agency Helpful insights will be drawn from neuroscience cognitive science and various social theories but the approach is basically philosophical in that the main goal is not to set out causal explanations but rather to critically examine assumptions and as thoroughly as possible to understand the significance of relevant issues and contentions

Self A Philosophical Inquiry 3 Educational Policy and Administration

Being aware of who we are of our differences from others and of our capacity to make decisions espouse values and hold commitments we take it for granted that we have a self Yet this common-sense assumption of selfhood becomes puzzling when subjected to philosophical scrutiny Two facts we need to note first we are compelled by social norms to act and think in certain ways and second our cognition feeling and volition depend on the functioning of our brain We are thus both social and physical beings How then and in what sense is it possible to have a self

Our module begins with a brief introduction to major theories of self Then the above-mentioned problem will be elaborated and some suggested solutions will be examined Further with this vantage point we shall investigate into the notion of moral agency Helpful insights will be drawn from neuroscience cognitive science and various social theories but the approach is basically philosophical in that the main goal is not to set out causal explanations but rather to critically examine assumptions and as thoroughly as possible to understand the significance of relevant issues and contentions

Self A Philosophical Inquiry 3 Educational Policy and Administration

Being aware of who we are of our differences from others and of our capacity to make decisions espouse values and hold commitments we take it for granted that we have a self Yet this common-sense assumption of selfhood becomes puzzling when subjected to philosophical scrutiny Two facts we need to note first we are compelled by social norms to act and think in certain ways and second our cognition feeling and volition depend on the functioning of our brain We are thus both social and physical beings How then and in what sense is it possible to have a self

Our module begins with a brief introduction to major theories of self Then the above-mentioned problem will be elaborated and some suggested solutions will be examined Further with this vantage point we shall investigate into the notion of moral agency Helpful insights will be drawn from neuroscience cognitive science and various social theories but the approach is basically philosophical in that the main goal is not to set out causal explanations but rather to critically examine assumptions and as thoroughly as possible to understand the significance of relevant issues and contentions

Self A Philosophical Inquiry 3 Educational Policy and Administration

Being aware of who we are of our differences from others and of our capacity to make decisions espouse values and hold commitments we take it for granted that we have a self Yet this common-sense assumption of selfhood becomes puzzling when subjected to philosophical scrutiny Two facts we need to note first we are compelled by social norms to act and think in certain ways and second our cognition feeling and volition depend on the functioning of our brain We are thus both social and physical beings How then and in what sense is it possible to have a self

Our module begins with a brief introduction to major theories of self Then the above-mentioned problem will be elaborated and some suggested solutions will be examined Further with this vantage point we shall investigate into the notion of moral agency Helpful insights will be drawn from neuroscience cognitive science and various social theories but the approach is basically philosophical in that the main goal is not to set out causal explanations but rather to critically examine assumptions and as thoroughly as possible to understand the significance of relevant issues and contentions

Self A Philosophical Inquiry 3 Educational Policy and Administration

Being aware of who we are of our differences from others and of our capacity to make decisions espouse values and hold commitments we take it for granted that we have a self Yet this common-sense assumption of selfhood becomes puzzling when subjected to philosophical scrutiny Two facts we need to note first we are compelled by social norms to act and think in certain ways and second our cognition feeling and volition depend on the functioning of our brain We are thus both social and physical beings How then and in what sense is it possible to have a self

Our module begins with a brief introduction to major theories of self Then the above-mentioned problem will be elaborated and some suggested solutions will be examined Further with this vantage point we shall investigate into the notion of moral agency Helpful insights will be drawn from neuroscience cognitive science and various social theories but the approach is basically philosophical in that the main goal is not to set out causal explanations but rather to critically examine assumptions and as thoroughly as possible to understand the significance of relevant issues and contentions

Self A Philosophical Inquiry 3 Educational Policy and Administration

Being aware of who we are of our differences from others and of our capacity to make decisions espouse values and hold commitments we take it for granted that we have a self Yet this common-sense assumption of selfhood becomes puzzling when subjected to philosophical scrutiny Two facts we need to note first we are compelled by social norms to act and think in certain ways and second our cognition feeling and volition depend on the functioning of our brain We are thus both social and physical beings How then and in what sense is it possible to have a self

Our module begins with a brief introduction to major theories of self Then the above-mentioned problem will be elaborated and some suggested solutions will be examined Further with this vantage point we shall investigate into the notion of moral agency Helpful insights will be drawn from neuroscience cognitive science and various social theories but the approach is basically philosophical in that the main goal is not to set out causal explanations but rather to critically examine assumptions and as thoroughly as possible to understand the significance of relevant issues and contentions

Self A Philosophical Inquiry 3 Educational Policy and Administration

Being aware of who we are of our differences from others and of our capacity to make decisions espouse values and hold commitments we take it for granted that we have a self Yet this common-sense assumption of selfhood becomes puzzling when subjected to philosophical scrutiny Two facts we need to note first we are compelled by social norms to act and think in certain ways and second our cognition feeling and volition depend on the functioning of our brain We are thus both social and physical beings How then and in what sense is it possible to have a self

Our module begins with a brief introduction to major theories of self Then the above-mentioned problem will be elaborated and some suggested solutions will be examined Further with this vantage point we shall investigate into the notion of moral agency Helpful insights will be drawn from neuroscience cognitive science and various social theories but the approach is basically philosophical in that the main goal is not to set out causal explanations but rather to critically examine assumptions and as thoroughly as possible to understand the significance of relevant issues and contentions

Self A Philosophical Inquiry 3 Educational Policy and Administration

Being aware of who we are of our differences from others and of our capacity to make decisions espouse values and hold commitments we take it for granted that we have a self Yet this common-sense assumption of selfhood becomes puzzling when subjected to philosophical scrutiny Two facts we need to note first we are compelled by social norms to act and think in certain ways and second our cognition feeling and volition depend on the functioning of our brain We are thus both social and physical beings How then and in what sense is it possible to have a self

Our module begins with a brief introduction to major theories of self Then the above-mentioned problem will be elaborated and some suggested solutions will be examined Further with this vantage point we shall investigate into the notion of moral agency Helpful insights will be drawn from neuroscience cognitive science and various social theories but the approach is basically philosophical in that the main goal is not to set out causal explanations but rather to critically examine assumptions and as thoroughly as possible to understand the significance of relevant issues and contentions

Self A Philosophical Inquiry 3 Educational Policy and Administration

Being aware of who we are of our differences from others and of our capacity to make decisions espouse values and hold commitments we take it for granted that we have a self Yet this common-sense assumption of selfhood becomes puzzling when subjected to philosophical scrutiny Two facts we need to note first we are compelled by social norms to act and think in certain ways and second our cognition feeling and volition depend on the functioning of our brain We are thus both social and physical beings How then and in what sense is it possible to have a self

Our module begins with a brief introduction to major theories of self Then the above-mentioned problem will be elaborated and some suggested solutions will be examined Further with this vantage point we shall investigate into the notion of moral agency Helpful insights will be drawn from neuroscience cognitive science and various social theories but the approach is basically philosophical in that the main goal is not to set out causal explanations but rather to critically examine assumptions and as thoroughly as possible to understand the significance of relevant issues and contentions

Self A Philosophical Inquiry 3 Educational Policy and Administration

Being aware of who we are of our differences from others and of our capacity to make decisions espouse values and hold commitments we take it for granted that we have a self Yet this common-sense assumption of selfhood becomes puzzling when subjected to philosophical scrutiny Two facts we need to note first we are compelled by social norms to act and think in certain ways and second our cognition feeling and volition depend on the functioning of our brain We are thus both social and physical beings How then and in what sense is it possible to have a self

Our module begins with a brief introduction to major theories of self Then the above-mentioned problem will be elaborated and some suggested solutions will be examined Further with this vantage point we shall investigate into the notion of moral agency Helpful insights will be drawn from neuroscience cognitive science and various social theories but the approach is basically philosophical in that the main goal is not to set out causal explanations but rather to critically examine assumptions and as thoroughly as possible to understand the significance of relevant issues and contentions

Self A Philosophical Inquiry 3 Educational Policy and Administration

Being aware of who we are of our differences from others and of our capacity to make decisions espouse values and hold commitments we take it for granted that we have a self Yet this common-sense assumption of selfhood becomes puzzling when subjected to philosophical scrutiny Two facts we need to note first we are compelled by social norms to act and think in certain ways and second our cognition feeling and volition depend on the functioning of our brain We are thus both social and physical beings How then and in what sense is it possible to have a self

Our module begins with a brief introduction to major theories of self Then the above-mentioned problem will be elaborated and some suggested solutions will be examined Further with this vantage point we shall investigate into the notion of moral agency Helpful insights will be drawn from neuroscience cognitive science and various social theories but the approach is basically philosophical in that the main goal is not to set out causal explanations but rather to critically examine assumptions and as thoroughly as possible to understand the significance of relevant issues and contentions

Self A Philosophical Inquiry 3 Educational Policy and Administration

Being aware of who we are of our differences from others and of our capacity to make decisions espouse values and hold commitments we take it for granted that we have a self Yet this common-sense assumption of selfhood becomes puzzling when subjected to philosophical scrutiny Two facts we need to note first we are compelled by social norms to act and think in certain ways and second our cognition feeling and volition depend on the functioning of our brain We are thus both social and physical beings How then and in what sense is it possible to have a self

Our module begins with a brief introduction to major theories of self Then the above-mentioned problem will be elaborated and some suggested solutions will be examined Further with this vantage point we shall investigate into the notion of moral agency Helpful insights will be drawn from neuroscience cognitive science and various social theories but the approach is basically philosophical in that the main goal is not to set out causal explanations but rather to critically examine assumptions and as thoroughly as possible to understand the significance of relevant issues and contentions

Self A Philosophical Inquiry 3 Educational Policy and Administration

Being aware of who we are of our differences from others and of our capacity to make decisions espouse values and hold commitments we take it for granted that we have a self Yet this common-sense assumption of selfhood becomes puzzling when subjected to philosophical scrutiny Two facts we need to note first we are compelled by social norms to act and think in certain ways and second our cognition feeling and volition depend on the functioning of our brain We are thus both social and physical beings How then and in what sense is it possible to have a self

Our module begins with a brief introduction to major theories of self Then the above-mentioned problem will be elaborated and some suggested solutions will be examined Further with this vantage point we shall investigate into the notion of moral agency Helpful insights will be drawn from neuroscience cognitive science and various social theories but the approach is basically philosophical in that the main goal is not to set out causal explanations but rather to critically examine assumptions and as thoroughly as possible to understand the significance of relevant issues and contentions

Self A Philosophical Inquiry 3 Educational Policy and Administration

Being aware of who we are of our differences from others and of our capacity to make decisions espouse values and hold commitments we take it for granted that we have a self Yet this common-sense assumption of selfhood becomes puzzling when subjected to philosophical scrutiny Two facts we need to note first we are compelled by social norms to act and think in certain ways and second our cognition feeling and volition depend on the functioning of our brain We are thus both social and physical beings How then and in what sense is it possible to have a self

Our module begins with a brief introduction to major theories of self Then the above-mentioned problem will be elaborated and some suggested solutions will be examined Further with this vantage point we shall investigate into the notion of moral agency Helpful insights will be drawn from neuroscience cognitive science and various social theories but the approach is basically philosophical in that the main goal is not to set out causal explanations but rather to critically examine assumptions and as thoroughly as possible to understand the significance of relevant issues and contentions

Self A Philosophical Inquiry 3 Educational Policy and Administration

Being aware of who we are of our differences from others and of our capacity to make decisions espouse values and hold commitments we take it for granted that we have a self Yet this common-sense assumption of selfhood becomes puzzling when subjected to philosophical scrutiny Two facts we need to note first we are compelled by social norms to act and think in certain ways and second our cognition feeling and volition depend on the functioning of our brain We are thus both social and physical beings How then and in what sense is it possible to have a self

Our module begins with a brief introduction to major theories of self Then the above-mentioned problem will be elaborated and some suggested solutions will be examined Further with this vantage point we shall investigate into the notion of moral agency Helpful insights will be drawn from neuroscience cognitive science and various social theories but the approach is basically philosophical in that the main goal is not to set out causal explanations but rather to critically examine assumptions and as thoroughly as possible to understand the significance of relevant issues and contentions

Self A Philosophical Inquiry 3 Educational Policy and Administration

Being aware of who we are of our differences from others and of our capacity to make decisions espouse values and hold commitments we take it for granted that we have a self Yet this common-sense assumption of selfhood becomes puzzling when subjected to philosophical scrutiny Two facts we need to note first we are compelled by social norms to act and think in certain ways and second our cognition feeling and volition depend on the functioning of our brain We are thus both social and physical beings How then and in what sense is it possible to have a self

Our module begins with a brief introduction to major theories of self Then the above-mentioned problem will be elaborated and some suggested solutions will be examined Further with this vantage point we shall investigate into the notion of moral agency Helpful insights will be drawn from neuroscience cognitive science and various social theories but the approach is basically philosophical in that the main goal is not to set out causal explanations but rather to critically examine assumptions and as thoroughly as possible to understand the significance of relevant issues and contentions

Self A Philosophical Inquiry 3 Educational Policy and Administration

Being aware of who we are of our differences from others and of our capacity to make decisions espouse values and hold commitments we take it for granted that we have a self Yet this common-sense assumption of selfhood becomes puzzling when subjected to philosophical scrutiny Two facts we need to note first we are compelled by social norms to act and think in certain ways and second our cognition feeling and volition depend on the functioning of our brain We are thus both social and physical beings How then and in what sense is it possible to have a self

Our module begins with a brief introduction to major theories of self Then the above-mentioned problem will be elaborated and some suggested solutions will be examined Further with this vantage point we shall investigate into the notion of moral agency Helpful insights will be drawn from neuroscience cognitive science and various social theories but the approach is basically philosophical in that the main goal is not to set out causal explanations but rather to critically examine assumptions and as thoroughly as possible to understand the significance of relevant issues and contentions

Self A Philosophical Inquiry 3 Educational Policy and Administration

Being aware of who we are of our differences from others and of our capacity to make decisions espouse values and hold commitments we take it for granted that we have a self Yet this common-sense assumption of selfhood becomes puzzling when subjected to philosophical scrutiny Two facts we need to note first we are compelled by social norms to act and think in certain ways and second our cognition feeling and volition depend on the functioning of our brain We are thus both social and physical beings How then and in what sense is it possible to have a self

Our module begins with a brief introduction to major theories of self Then the above-mentioned problem will be elaborated and some suggested solutions will be examined Further with this vantage point we shall investigate into the notion of moral agency Helpful insights will be drawn from neuroscience cognitive science and various social theories but the approach is basically philosophical in that the main goal is not to set out causal explanations but rather to critically examine assumptions and as thoroughly as possible to understand the significance of relevant issues and contentions

Self A Philosophical Inquiry 3 Educational Policy and Administration

Being aware of who we are of our differences from others and of our capacity to make decisions espouse values and hold commitments we take it for granted that we have a self Yet this common-sense assumption of selfhood becomes puzzling when subjected to philosophical scrutiny Two facts we need to note first we are compelled by social norms to act and think in certain ways and second our cognition feeling and volition depend on the functioning of our brain We are thus both social and physical beings How then and in what sense is it possible to have a self

Our module begins with a brief introduction to major theories of self Then the above-mentioned problem will be elaborated and some suggested solutions will be examined Further with this vantage point we shall investigate into the notion of moral agency Helpful insights will be drawn from neuroscience cognitive science and various social theories but the approach is basically philosophical in that the main goal is not to set out causal explanations but rather to critically examine assumptions and as thoroughly as possible to understand the significance of relevant issues and contentions

Self A Philosophical Inquiry 3 Educational Policy and Administration

Being aware of who we are of our differences from others and of our capacity to make decisions espouse values and hold commitments we take it for granted that we have a self Yet this common-sense assumption of selfhood becomes puzzling when subjected to philosophical scrutiny Two facts we need to note first we are compelled by social norms to act and think in certain ways and second our cognition feeling and volition depend on the functioning of our brain We are thus both social and physical beings How then and in what sense is it possible to have a self

Our module begins with a brief introduction to major theories of self Then the above-mentioned problem will be elaborated and some suggested solutions will be examined Further with this vantage point we shall investigate into the notion of moral agency Helpful insights will be drawn from neuroscience cognitive science and various social theories but the approach is basically philosophical in that the main goal is not to set out causal explanations but rather to critically examine assumptions and as thoroughly as possible to understand the significance of relevant issues and contentions

Self A Philosophical Inquiry 3 Educational Policy and Administration

Being aware of who we are of our differences from others and of our capacity to make decisions espouse values and hold commitments we take it for granted that we have a self Yet this common-sense assumption of selfhood becomes puzzling when subjected to philosophical scrutiny Two facts we need to note first we are compelled by social norms to act and think in certain ways and second our cognition feeling and volition depend on the functioning of our brain We are thus both social and physical beings How then and in what sense is it possible to have a self

Our module begins with a brief introduction to major theories of self Then the above-mentioned problem will be elaborated and some suggested solutions will be examined Further with this vantage point we shall investigate into the notion of moral agency Helpful insights will be drawn from neuroscience cognitive science and various social theories but the approach is basically philosophical in that the main goal is not to set out causal explanations but rather to critically examine assumptions and as thoroughly as possible to understand the significance of relevant issues and contentions

Self A Philosophical Inquiry 3 Educational Policy and Administration

Being aware of who we are of our differences from others and of our capacity to make decisions espouse values and hold commitments we take it for granted that we have a self Yet this common-sense assumption of selfhood becomes puzzling when subjected to philosophical scrutiny Two facts we need to note first we are compelled by social norms to act and think in certain ways and second our cognition feeling and volition depend on the functioning of our brain We are thus both social and physical beings How then and in what sense is it possible to have a self

Our module begins with a brief introduction to major theories of self Then the above-mentioned problem will be elaborated and some suggested solutions will be examined Further with this vantage point we shall investigate into the notion of moral agency Helpful insights will be drawn from neuroscience cognitive science and various social theories but the approach is basically philosophical in that the main goal is not to set out causal explanations but rather to critically examine assumptions and as thoroughly as possible to understand the significance of relevant issues and contentions
