Perspective of Self
Perspective of Self
Socrates
This philosopher is firm on his belief that the "self" is our soul. We can say it is ourself if we have our
soul.
Augustine
Lastly, Augustine believe that "self" is his belief and faith in God, his relationship with him is all that
composes his whole self and that completes his whole self in peace. For him the "self" is only the self if
you are with God.
My concept of self is that "self" is by faith so I can see that it is compatible with Augustine's. Self for me
is when you know who create you and be grateful for it. The self us when you know you are made with
a soul and body to come out with a purpose and believes in the creator Himself. I can see the
compatibility of my concept of self to Augustine and I completely agree with him.
