    To begin the inquiry of the possibility of there being and enduring self, the argument that J. David Velleman holds against the enduring self, will be evaluated. In the beginning of Velleman’s paper, So It Goes, he asserts that the enduring self is an illusion.

In the quote listed above, it helps to grasp the idea that an enduring self does not come together just because the object or person is able to remember their memories and…

The decision to comply with traffic lights, for example, ensures that car users don't kill each other at intersections. Christopher Browning’s novel, Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland, uses records from the trials of Nazi crimes in Germany to examine the perpetrators.…

    Pacing walking over to my locker, my music was blasting. Happily, I recall listening to one of my favorite songs, and I found myself strutting throughout the hallway.

I had to wait for a bus to take me to the metro and from the blue line take the green line. I always had my earphones on and was always aware of my surroundings. It got dark fast and there were a few times where the thought “maybe I’m being watched because some of these faces look familiar and I’m not as aware as I should be” would pop in my head.…
