Welcome to the first episode of our three part series on Understanding Personal Identity. This is a special one for us since we are talking about a topic that everyone has thought about at some point but more often than not we are left with more questions that we initially started with.
Figuring out one’s identity is a life long process and it’s an ever evolving process. We tried to cover some really important aspects of it in this series. Prof. Theo Klimstra who is an expert in the field of personal identity joined us and helped us dive deep into various aspects of identity.
This entire series will have a lot of clips from people sharing their personal opinion and stories, so it was new format for us and we would happy to receive your comments on how did you receive it.
