"Severance", "The Substance", and Our Increasingly Splintered Selves
Category: Mind & Ideas › Identity
Tags: Identity · Philosophy
What makes a single self when memory, body and values split apart? I reprint my New York Times op ed on Severance (Apple TV) and The Substance, starring Demi Moore, tracing Locke, Bernard Williams and contemporary psychology. Read approachable reflections on personal identity, memory continuity and pop culture.
Rolly's Take
For the soul who traverses the labyrinth of identity, questioning the threads that weave us together. This blog resonates with those captivated by the dance of memory and self, seeking depth in the complexities of who we are and how we splinter. Here, philosophy meets pop culture, inviting a reflective pause on the essence of being amidst the chaos of modern life.
