The Illusory Self: Identity in Christianity and Buddhism

The concept of self presents itself to us in various forms, prompting the question: which versions of the self truly exist? What are we, at our core, and what constitutes reality? The exploration of these questions can be found across a range of philosophical perspectives, whether embraced by the faithful or the sceptical. Christianity and Buddhism offer intriguing insights into the nature of the individual and the repercussions of clinging to a false self. Furthermore, they provide methods and reasoning to help dispel misconceptions surrounding this false self, enabling us to grasp the true nature of our identity.
