We walk around believing that we know something about ourselves-our fears and desires; our talents and failings; our likes and dislikes. Even if we aren't always clear about the origins of these qualities or preferences, we believe that there is a core self that is true. We think that we are a certain kind of person, that we have a stable personality and that some things are in our nature or true to it, while others are not. We are not always sure how we know these things, only that we know them. We accept it on faith that our self-knowledge is an accurate report of objective reality. But how reliable is this? How much do we really understand ourselves and our world, despite all the scientific advances of the past few hundred years? These are the kinds of questions that Being. Belonging. Becoming. seeks to tackle. It delves into the complex dynamics of selfhood, personal narrative and how it influences our perceptions of ourselves, others and the world around us with science and philosophy as a guide.
