This research tries to examine the concept of self within the framework of modern
philosophy and contemporary philosophy, in an attempt to highlight the role of this
concept in the formation of most of the philosophical doctrines from the Greek era
to the
contemporary philosophy, through modern philosophy.
In this research, we will attempt to study the formation of this concept in the
framework of modern and contemporary philosophy, to show the philosophers' interest in
this concept and the extent to which the concept is linked to the clarify their own
philosophy. Therefore, the research attempts to provide a follow-up reading of the concept
of self in a comparative historical context, in which we demonstrate that this concept is still
alive in contemporary philosophy, albeit with different names, such as reason, mind or
feeling.
We will conclude from this the importance of the concept of self in the philosophical
context, which still occupies an important space in the thinking of modern and
contemporary philosophers. Here we will try to ask several questions, including what is the
dualism of the soul and body. How can the soul be a logical synthesis, an emanated mind,
or a subjective feeling? In this research, we will try to answer these questions and other
questions that will appear in the context of the research.
