Question

What is the philosophical concept of human identity

Answer 1

I read Ayn Rand's Anthem, and that is where I found the answer to this question.  I am able to associate the lesson and still believe in a higher power.  I am spiritual, not religious, and I feel that in that capacity, there is greater chance of harmony and being able to see more than three shades of yes, no, and the unknown.

Answer 2

Given in such writings as "The Path of the Higher Self," Mark Prophet,

"Man, Master of His Destiny," O. M. Aivanhov,

"Expecting Adam," Martha Beck,

"The Master of Lucid Dreams," Dr. Olga Kharitidi.

Answer 3

Oh goodness. That question has as many answers as there are schools of philosophic thought. I subscribe to Naturalism, which states:

"that human life, physical, mental, moral and spiritual, is an ordinary natural event attributable in all respects to the ordinary operations of nature; and that man's ethical values, compulsions, activities, and restraints can be justified on natural grounds, without recourse to supernatural sanctions, and his highest good pursued and attained under natural conditions, without expectation of a supernatural destiny.

I have my own website devoted to Naturalism.

Answer 4

I wrote a paper exactly on this--7 pages long--for my Philosophy & Science Fiction of Film @ NMSU this summer semester.  I'll send it to you if you want, I did get a 98/100 for it.  But then again--it is my Major.  Lots of stuff--hard to write down as a response.  E-mail me or something like that...myspace.com/neox10 (or that) if you're interested.  [e-mail]
