Скачать или смотреть What Makes You, You? Identity in Philosophy & Social Science

What is identity? Is it something we are, or something we do? In this video, we explore the concept of identity from both social science and philosophical perspectives.

🔹 From Social Science: Identity as social construction, group membership, cultural belonging, intersectionality, and performance (Tajfel, Crenshaw, Butler).
🔹 From Philosophy: Identity as a metaphysical puzzle (Locke, Parfit), the Ship of Theseus, existential freedom (Kierkegaard, Sartre, Heidegger), narrative identity (Ricoeur), and critiques of identity (Foucault, Derrida, Buddhism).

We’ll compare how sociology, psychology, and anthropology explain identity as relational, multiple, and performed, with how philosophy examines identity as paradoxical, unstable, and even illusory.

By the end, you’ll see why identity is both indispensable for social life and impossible to pin down.

✨ If you’re interested in philosophy, social theory, psychology, or cultural studies, this video breaks down identity in a way that’s detailed, engaging, and thought-provoking.
