POPSThe myth of the self "WHAT is the self? One answer is that it is the diamond in the rough that is you, the unique, immutable and indestructible jewel that makes each person who they are, the being amidst the becoming, the unfluxable within the flux.Kant called it the Transcendental Ego, which stands behind experience as the condition of its possibility. An alternative view endorsed by Buddha, Heraclitus, John Locke, David Hume and William James is that the self does not exist."

POPSInspiring writer and philosopher I first read Barrett in 1990. Irrational Man is my favourite book. I read and re-read it. Death of the Soul reinforces my own views that science cannot answer all questions. I like him as a person as was surprised to read that 'he moved to the right' because it is not apparent in his writing.
