Trailer: The Self Today

Reference to the self is ubiquitous in contemporary culture. But what is the self? Is it discovered or created? What kinds of self does literature depict? And what do philosophers have to say about it? In this trailer episode we introduce the podcast’s key questions and the literary authors on whose works we will be focusing throughout the series. Speaker names: Dr. Scarlett Baron, Associate Professor in the English Department at UCL. Alice Harberd, PhD Student in the Philosophy Department at UCL. https://sites.google.com/view/uclphilandlitgroup/podcast
