From being to identity: analysis and synthesis of the self

Discussion meeting organised by Professor Tony Prescott, Professor Agnieszka Wykowska, Professor Sarah Garfinkel, and Professor Paul Verschure.
 
What is the self and how is it constituted? How can we understand the diversity of human selves? Will technology change our sense of self? We will explore these critical questions through contemporary analytic approaches, in psychology, neuroscience and philosophy to understanding human selves, and synthetic approaches that investigate the construction of sense of self in artefacts such as robots.
