Who Is This Person?
In The nature of suffering and the goals of medicine. New York: Oxford University Press (2004)
Abstract
This chapter discusses knowing and attempting to know a person over a period of time. It is believed that individuals are unknowable in their entirety, due to the fact that people change constantly and that a person can only see one aspect of an individual at any moment. The chapter discusses how to know people through their narratives, and looks at personal logic, social constraints, and disinterest in the nature of person.Other Versions
