A Philosophical Inquiry into the Self
What is the Self, and how can it remain the same while continually changing?
Philosophical Self-Knowledge is a searching and original exploration of personal identity, consciousness, embodiment and the human capacity to know oneself. It investigates whether an enduring Self exists beneath the fluctuations of bodily life, memory, thought, will and our relations with others.
The book challenges both simplistic definitions of identity and philosophical accounts that deny the continuity of the Self. The Self is presented as a unified yet changing subject that persists throughout its transformations without remaining identical in every respect.
At the Heart of the Book: Self-Poiesis
Self-knowledge is not treated as a final description of a fixed object. It is a philosophical process through which the Self recognises, examines and participates in its own formation. Dr Ioannis S. Christodoulou names this process Self-Poiesis.
Through sustained engagement with Aristotle, Nietzsche, Bacon, Feuerbach, Freud, Adler and Spinoza, the book brings philosophical and psychoanalytic perspectives into dialogue with an original Philosophy of the Self.
Philosophical Self-Knowledge is not a conventional self-help book. It is a rigorous invitation to transform reading into an act of philosophical self-awareness, self-examination and potentially self-creation.

Why do I keep making choices I don't fully understand?
I need to understand myself before I can understand my patterns.
I need better questions about who I am, what changes me and what remains.
PHILOSOPHICAL SELF-KNOWLEDGE gives me a philosophical path into those questions.
