ASSIGNMENT 2

1.What is the importance of having a philosophy of the self?

The importance of having Philosophy of the self is in order for us to know the
fundamental and basis of what these concepts of self-mean. It also gives us a
guideline on what action we were choose that will keep us on track, no matter
how rough the road gets we will make a path for our self. This concept of
Philosophy will remind us that we must keep trying to live life much beyond
simple improvement.

2.What is your own philosophy of the self?

I’ve been living my life for 18 years from now and I know to myself that
haven’t experience something yet and I know that there are more experience in
life. So that’s why ,my Philosophy in life is “To Learn More” because I know to
myself that I’m not that fully experience person, sometimes I’m sitting here in my
comfort zone eventhough I know that I can do more in life and also I often times
see myself as a naïve person because there are many things that I don’t know
yet, so that’s why there are times in my life I spend a lot of time thinking
negatively and it feels like there is dark following me everyday but sometimes
there’s a little hope that I will get through it and feel better again someday.

3.Choose one of the philosopher we discussed in class and relate it to the

philosophy of yourself .
For me, the philosopher that I would choose is Plato. For instance, if I were to
say something like, “I can’t believe I did that. That’s just not me.I found myself randomly
hooking up with the person I just met on the bus ride home. And when I left, I felt like it
was really out of character. I wasn’t being myself. In Plato’s view, I may have been
acting like myself, though not working from the logical/ reason aspect of self, but out of
appetite, the lust the carnal hunger the passionate part of one’s self.
