Abstract

Kiros’ Self-Definition aims to be a reader’s guide to the literature on the subject. It is such, as it provides an outline and summarizes the liter­ature on the topic of the Self and philosophy. By exploring different ideas, philosophies, thinkers, and literature over time, through different eras, and through the lenses of gender, sex, and race, it is also intended to be a philosophical bridge between the Global South and the Global North. Un­derstanding this task’s moral, existential, and philosophical implications, I wish to offer a critical notice that encourages this line of thought to remain critical, open, and debatable.
