Ego vs the Self

Philosophy Salons

An interactive discussion of how to relate to two fundamental parts of ourselves.

Woonwerkpand Tetterode

Ego vs the SelfThere are small battles happening inside of us each moment - between weakness and courage, between pride and clarity, between kindness and a hardened heart. But someone could point out that these battles are fundamentally just one battle. A fight between two entities - the ego and the self. This battle is frequently cast as an opposition - between the good and the bad. It also presents a human being as inherently divided - split up between the two warring parts. But is this the real relationship between the self and the ego? Could their roles and duties be of a different sort? In this Philosophy Salon, we will look at our selves and our egos, step outside the battle, and see if both are necessary to make us who we are. <h3>Meeting Information</h3>Doors open at 18:45 and close at 19:10. Please be on time! We won't be able to accommodate attendees arriving after 19:10.<h3>Philosophy Salons</h3>The Philosophy Salons are gatherings of curious people to explore big ideas with an open mind. The Philosophy Salons were created by Anya Farennikova, a philosopher of mind based in Amsterdam. We dive deep into beliefs and ideas, dive out, and have fun along the way!
