    This document discusses different philosophical perspectives on the self. It includes views that the self is composed of both body and soul (Socrates), has three components including the rational, spirited, and appetitive souls (Plato). Others discussed are that man has both a worldly and divine aspect (Augustine), is made of matter and form (Aquinas), has two distinct entities of the mind and body (Descartes), is a bundle of perceptions (Hume), organizes impressions (Kant), is not a locatable entity but behaviors (Ryle), and that the body, thoughts, and experiences are all one (Merleau-Ponty).

    PHILOSOPHICAL VIEWS
    SOCRATES
    Every man is composed of body and soul.
    PLATO
    Three components of the soul:
    1. The rational soul
    2. The spirited soul
    3. The appetitive soul
    Augustine
    Man is of a bifurcated nature. An aspect of man
    dwells in the world and is imperfect and continuously
    yearns to be with the Divine and the other is capable
    of reaching immortality.
    Thomas Aquinas
    Man is composed of two parts:
    1. Matter or hyle - common stuff
    2. Form or morphe - essence of a substance or
    thing
    Descartes
    Two distinct entities of the self:
    1. Cogito - the thing that thinks (mind)
    2. Extenza or extension of the mind - body
    Hume
    Two categories of experience: impressions and ideas
    The self is simply “a bundle or collection of different
    perceptions, which succeed each other with an inconceivable
    rapidity, and are in a perpetual flux and movement.”
    Kant
    The self is one of the different apparatuses of the
    mind that organizes the different impressions that
    one gets in relation to his own existence. It gives
    one his personality and is also the seat of
    knowledge acquisition for all human persons.
    Ryle
    The self is not an entity one can locate and analyze
    but simply the convenient name taht people use to
    refer to all the behaviors that people make.
    Merleau-Ponty
    The living body, his thoughts, emotions, and
    experiences are all one.
