771. In Search Of You (Ii) 210909 Poem by Raman Savithiri

One vexing question addressed by the Philosophy of Mind is the nature of personal identity and whether it even exists. Religious theists typically argue that it does exist and is carried by the soul. Some religions, like Buddhism, teach that the personal 'I' doesn't truly exist and is only an illusion. Materialist conceptions of the mind generally recognize that it changes over time due to changing experiences and circumstances, suggesting that personal identity itself must change. That, however, raises ethical questions about how we can and should treat someone now based upon past behavior. your poems are unique in concept...well done
