A Study of Self in the light of Western and Eastern Discourses
Abstract
Self is one of the most analyzed subjects in philosophy and literature right from Buddha to Nietzsche. The study of self has once again in trend in philosophy, given a boost by recent encourages in cognitive- and neuroscience which encounter it intriguing that an entity as familiar as the self extends to fudge full scientific investigation. The trouble of the self has informal connections with that of personal identity and the mind and body's human relationship, but they are not the same: what builds the self distinctive is its firstpersonal character.
