LAS 196 - Are We Just Stories to Tell?
In this seminar we explore the broad implications of this bold question about the self: we know that storytelling is an important part of who we are, but what if it turned out that the self was nothing more than a narrative creation – a story or a collection of stories? What would it mean if our “self” were more like a novel’s character than like its author? Who – or what – creates the stories of our selves and what, if anything, holds them together? If we are just the stories we tell, what does it mean to have or to want integrity? (3 hours)
