Socrates: Know
Yourself

1. Immanuel Kant: Self-respect isn’t about feeling better. Self-respect is about


Respect for Self knowing your own value. Knowing that every human, no
matter who they are, deserves basic rights and dignities. In
this world no matter if you are rich or poor, ugly or
beautiful, everyone is of equal status and everyone deserves
respect.
2. Socrates: Know Yourself The relationship with yourself is one of the most important
relationships in your life. If you do not have a full
understanding of who you are then how are others
supposed to get to know you? Building a healthy and
positive self-esteems is probably the most important factor
that leads to happiness and living a fulfilling life. If you
know yourself, you’ll not be harmed by what is said about
you.
3. Plato: The Ideal Self, the Humans could be broken down into 3 parts: the body, the
Perfect Self mind and the soul. The body is the physical part of the body
that is only concerned with the material world, and through
which we are able to experience the world we live in, it is
mortal, and when it dies, it is truly dead. It is with our
minds that we are able to understand the eternal world of
the forms. The soul is the driving force of the body, that it is
what gives us our identity.
4. David Hume: the Self is All knowledge originates with experience, and all experience
the Bundle Theory of Mind is of one’s own perceptions. As what they say experience is
the best teacher. The knowledge we gain from textbooks
can never measure to the wisdom we gain through
experience.
5. St. Augustine: Love and True justice, begins with the love of God and thereby
Justice as the Foundation of extending to love of others since the love of others is the
Individual Self ultimate expression of love of God.
