    Module 1: The Philosophical Self Learning Activity

    John-Dred Bautista
    This document discusses a learning activity that asks the reader to reflect on questions about their sense of self. It includes sample answers to the questions and an analysis of which questions were easy or difficult to answer. The questions probe how the individual would characterize themselves, what makes them unique, how their self has changed, the relationship between self and body, the connection between self and other selves, and what will happen after death. The analysis finds the first question about characterizing the self to be easy while the last about what happens after death is difficult, as the outcome is unknown. It prompts reflection on whether one can truly know themselves and if wanting to know about the self is important.

    MODULE 1: THE PHILOSOPHICAL SELF

    LEARNING ACTIVITY

    Do You Truly Know Yourself?

    Answer the following questions about your self as fully and precisely as you can.
    1. How would you characterize yourself?
    2. What makes you stand out from the rest? What makes your self special?
    3. How has your self transformed itself?
    4. How is your self connected to your body?
    5. How is your self related to other selves?
    6. What will happen to the body and the soul when you die?

    ANSWERS:
    1. I can describe myself as an imperfect person but I’m a good son, friend and a fun
    person to be around. I consider myself as adventurous and also a helpful person.
    2. I think being a confident person. Stop comparing yourself to others. If you still
    feel a compelling need to compare – compare yourself to yourself. Measure how
    far you’ve come. See how much improvement you’ve made and that being
    confidence will automatically make you stand out from the rest.

    My personality. People might have similar personalities but never the same as
    me. I’m special in my own way of handling things, communicating and many
    other stuff but no one in the world is like me.
    3. My consciousness is the reason why I transformed myself by itself and to realize
    all the things I need to adapt this world.
    4. Myself is certainly connected to my body through my feelings, thoughts,
    expectations, beliefs, and attitudes.
    5. No matter how unique we are with each other, we are still related to each other.
    In relating ourselves with other selves we tend to influence them through the way
    how welive, how we handle life and how we keep on pushing through.
    6. When you really die our bodies will decompose and I believed in second life so
    specifically after I die maybe I would go in hell where Satan lives nor with our
    heavenly Father in his paradise.
    ANALYSIS

    did you find easiest to answer? Which ones are difficult? Why?

    Questions Easy or difficult to answer? Why?


    1. How would you EASY - Because answering this
    characterize yourself? is base in what you’ve
    experienced.

    2. What will happen to the DIFFICULT - It’s hard to answer this


    body and the soul when because we don’t know
    you die? the real outcome of
    where our souls going.

    Can you truly know the self? Do you want to know about the self?
    ASSESSMENT TASK 1
    In your own words, state what “self” is for at least 5 of the philosophers discussed. After
    doing so, explain how your concept of “self” is compatible with how they conceived of
    the “self.”
    - The definition of person is an individual substance with a rational nature. The self is
    an individual person.
    - For Socrates, life is not worth living if it not examined. For him, the Soul is
    synonymous with the Self. He believes that human beings have immortal soul that
    lives within the physical body. For plato, there are three elements of the soul:
    Reason, Physical Appetite, Spirit or Passion. Reason is the ability of the self to think
    critically, and make wise decisions. Physical Appetite is the basic needs of a person,
    hunger, thirst and sexual desires. Lastly, Spirit or Passion is composed of the basic
    emotions that the self encounters. For Aristotle, the main goal of the self is to leand
    a good, flourishing and fulfilling life. For Gilbert Ryle, the self is best understood as
    a pattern of behavior, the capacity of a person to act and make a move in certain
    ways and conditions. For Sigmund Freud, there are three layers of the self:
    Conscious, Unconscious, and Preconscious.
    - So the human self, is a filter in which we get to use to create or attempt to create our
    own realities and then experience the outcome of that creation. The challenging part
    is sifting through all these selves or even recognizing that the selves exist in the first
    place.Therefore, only the ego can deny it's own existence while the human creates
    it's own reality.
    ASSESSMENT TASK 2
    Using the same guide questions in your activity above, write a four-stanza poem that
    will reflect your idea on self. Please be guided with the rubrics below. “I”

    Cause they don't take away my self worth.

    I had a big following through my fitness.

    I am worthy of love and attention


    I am deserving of love and compassion
    My imperfections make me unique & special
    I have unlimited power of my disposal.
