Abstract

This chapter deals with consciousness and its relation with identity, or with what we perceive as identity. To explore this topic from a broad perspective, we will first take a tour of the different explanations with which philosophy, throughout history, has tried to explain the phenomenon of consciousness. Secondly, we will go into the neurofunctional and neuroanatomical perspective, to set the precedents on which we will expose the current theories with which neuroscience tries to explain consciousness. Finally, we will recapitulate on what has been seen so far and try to reconstruct, with it, a possible explanation of the relationship between consciousness and identity, and the relationship that it has not only with ourselves but with our environment – we will try to explore whether consciousness and identity are individual phenomena or also dependent on others; If our identity is something that relies on us, or that also relies on what others think about us.

Heed these words, you who wish to probe the depths of nature:

If you do not find within yourself that which you seek, neither will you find it outside.

In you is hidden the treasure of treasures.

Know Thyself and you will know the Universe and the Gods.

Temple of Apollo, Delphi, Greece.
