The philosophy of self defines, among other things, the conditions of identity that make one subject of experience distinct from all others. Contemporary discussions on the nature of the self are not thereby discussions on the nature of personhood, or personal identity. The self is sometimes understood as a unified being essentially connected to consciousness, awareness, and agency (or, at least, with the faculty of rational choice). Various theories on the metaphysical nature of the self have been proposed. Among them, the metaphysical nature of the self has been proposed to be that of an immaterial substance.
Most philosophical definitions of self—per Descartes, Locke, Hume, and William James—are expressed in the first person. A third person definition does not refer to specific mental qualia but instead strives for objectivity and operationalism.
To another person, the self of one individual is exhibited in the conduct and discourse of that individual. Therefore, the intentions of another individual can only be inferred from something that emanates from that individual. The particular characteristics of the self determine its identity.
Ayn Rand (/ˈaɪn ˈrænd/; born Alisa Zinov'yevna Rosenbaum, Russian: Али́са Зино́вьевна Розенба́ум; February 2 [O.S. January 20] 1905 – March 6, 1982) was a Russian-born American novelist, philosopher, playwright, and screenwriter. She is known for her two best-selling novels, The Fountainhead (1943) and Atlas Shrugged (1957), and for developing a philosophical system she called Objectivism. Born and educated in Russia, Rand moved to the United States in 1926. She had a play produced on Broadway in 1935–1936. After two early novels that were initially unsuccessful in America, she achieved fame with her 1943 novel, The Fountainhead.
In 1957, she published her best-known work, the novel Atlas Shrugged. Afterward, she turned to non-fiction to promote her philosophy, publishing her own magazines and releasing several collections of essays until her death in 1982. Rand advocated reason as the only means of acquiring knowledge, and rejected faith and religion. She supported rational and ethical egoism, and rejected altruism. In politics, she condemned the initiation of force as immoral, and opposed collectivism and statism as well as anarchism, and instead supported laissez-faire capitalism, which she defined as the system based on recognizing individual rights. In art, Rand promoted romantic realism. She was sharply critical of most philosophers and philosophical traditions known to her, except for Aristotle and some Aristotelians, and classical liberals.
In this video, Dr. Joshua Knobe (Yale University) asks: Does our ordinary notion of a “true self” simply pick out a certain part of the mind? Or is this notion actually wrapped up in some inextricable way with our own values and ideals? Help us caption & translate this video! http://amara.org/v/GqnL/

In this video lecture/discussion session from my Spring 2013 Introduction to Philosophy class at Marist College, we look at one of the most often referenced sections of G.W.F. Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit, his discussions of Self-Consciousness and the Master-Slave Dialectic. I walk the students through some of the dialectical developments in this difficult section, and we end by discussing how the Slave continues to develop while the Master stagnates. If you'd like to see more in-depth Hegel videos, check out my Half-Hour Hegel series, where we are going through the ENTIRE Phenomenology of Spirit, paragraph by paragraph -- the series is curated here: http://halfhourhegel.blogspot.com/

This video focuses on Aristotle's work, the Nicomachean Ethics, and examines his discussion in book 9 of the issue of self-love (philautia) and how it fits into his advocacy of friendship (philia) as a significant good. Aristotle distinguishes between two very different types of self-love, making the distinction based upon the kinds of goods that are being desired, valued, and shared or competed over. When self-love is a matter of wanting things like wealth, physical pleasure, or honor, then self-love necessarily pits us against love, friendship, or care for others. When, however, it is focused on higher goods, like virtue, the person who loves him or herself will desire to acquire and exercise those goods, which will also benefit others. Gregory B. Sadler is the president and co-found...

On September 8, 1836, the day before the publication of Nature, Emerson met with Frederic Henry Hedge, George Putnam and George Ripley to plan periodic gatherings of other like-minded intellectuals.[65] This was the beginning of the Transcendental Club, which served as a center for the movement. Its first official meeting was held on September 19, 1836.[66] On September 1, 1837, women attended a meeting of the Transcendental Club for the first time. Emerson invited Margaret Fuller, Elizabeth Hoar and Sarah Ripley for dinner at his home before the meeting to ensure that they would be present for the evening get-together.[67] Fuller would prove to be an important figure in Transcendentalism.

Will Self Radio 4 June 2016 The Meaning of Life Part 2 Philosophy
Thoughts Are Things by Prentice Mulford, New Thought Teaching, Self Help Philosophy, Audiobook
Solipsism is the philosophical idea that only one's own mind can be proven to exist. I am the only consciousness that exists. All forms and experiences occur within me. There is no reality outside of me. Is this philosophy accurate? Is solipsism true? In this video, Lincoln channels the Higher Self Consciousness to examine the philosophical concept of solipsism and the nature of our personal reality. Are any parts of the philosophy of solipsism accurate and true? Are, in fact, all people, places and forms an extension of myself? Am I the only true reality? Or is there an existential reality that is independent of me? Where can a person accurately draw the lines between self and other? The Higher Self answers these questions as you learn more about the nature of your personal r...

**Comments are disabled for this video** The goal of this video is NOT to offend anyone, but in light of freedom of speech and freedom of religion, I am speaking my mind in a kind yet stern way. You may disagree, and that's OK. If I'm not permitted to cogently and lovingly speak my Christian beliefs in this country, then we really have reached an unbridgeable chasm, and something will have to give. I will not sit down and be silent because society continues to kick God out of every area of life. And we're seeing the consequences of that, starting with these mass shootings. The issue isn't intellectual, it's moral. Until we get to the heart of the matter - depravity and sin - we'll never see a change in how humans treat each other.
