Self, philosophy: the concept of the self cannot be exactly separated from the concept of the I. Over the past few years, more and more traditional terms of both concepts have been relativized. In particular, a constant nature of the self or the I is no longer assumed today. See also brain/brain state, mind, state of mind, I, subjects, perception, person.

David Hume on Self - Dictionary of Arguments

Nozick II 94
Self/I/unity/Hume/Kant/Nozick: the self does not only exist by temporal sequences of thoughts or just words in a mind. E.g. several persons think one word of a sentence each. Then the unity will not be made by any person in addition thinking "I think".
>Cogito
, >Cogito/Kant.
Nozick II 97
Reference: if the relation "refers to" itself does not possess the required unity, then it cannot establish it.
I: the synthesis of I does not presuppose a pre-existent uniform I.
"How-come"-question/Nozick: I need no proof that there is unity, I want to know how is it possible? For I do not have to start with separate things and try to establish a unity.
>Reference, >Unity.
