Several philosophers had differing views on the concept of self or perception:
- Socrates believed that humans have a purpose to examine how we should live our lives. Plato saw the self as composed of mind and soul, with the soul needing to be balanced. Aristotle said the body and soul are one and cannot be separated.
- Later philosophers like Augustine, Descartes, and Kant argued that self is defined by our knowledge of God, consciousness in the mind, and how we construct ourselves, respectively.
- David Hume believed self is just a word based on our perceptions, while Locke saw the self growing through knowledge over time similar to writing on paper. Behavior was seen by Ryle as

Socrates Ourselves has a purpose in this world, he
examined how we should live. Plato Self is composed of 2 elements which are mind and soul. And soul is should be balance based on the three parts of it (rational, spirited, appetitive). Aristotle Your body is your soul, your soul is your body. It means the body and soul are only one and can’t be separated. St. Augustine The best description of self is if you really know who God is. Rene Descartes If consciousness exists in our mind, then there’s self. We can prove that there is self if we have desire to know everything about ourself. John Locke The human is just like a note, as time passed by there’s a lot of knowledge we gain. Note are blank when we buy it and as long as it is in our hand, we have a couples of jot down/ outline written on it, same as human started without knowing everything, but as long as we live there are a bunch of knowledge we put in our mind. David Hume Self is just a word; it only exists on how we describe it or based on the perception of everyone. The human who believing in self is the one who have an imagination. Immanuel Kant It is on us on how we build up ourself. Just like a house it’s on us if we construct it perfectly or not. We are the one who created ourself. Gilbert Ryle Behavior is the definition of self. On how we act in our daily lives, and what we have in our surrounding that affect our behavior, that is self. Paul Churchland Mind is not an element or one of the things that can manifest self. Self is the one that makes us think which is brain, if there is no brain then there is no self. Maurice Merleau-Ponty Self is just like a subject in class that the only role is to be discuss or to analyze
