Thought Experiment - Inspired by the book 'The Ego Trip'
I have recently read again Julian Baggini's "The Ego Trick', a brilliant book which looks at "the nature of s elf in an entertaining and comprehensive, easily understandable way". http://julianbaggini.blogspot.com/2011/03/ego-trick.html Definitely recommended for anyone interested in exploring what it means to be 'you'. On first reading I was inspired to write 'Thought Experiment', so thought I'd bring it around again. Thought Experiment Imagine yourself as created all at once, yet perfect and whole, but your sight has been veiled from the external. Do your feelings then come from the soul? As you fall without any resistance, through the void; each body part separate, untouched - then reflect in the glass of experience and affirm the existence of self. (Ref: “Floating Man” – Avicenna cited in "The Ego Trick" Julian Baggini ) Why not now read Baggini's book ? The Ego Trick Any comments welcome.
