How will these resources help you?

The concept of a ‘self’ is critical for many strands of Religious Studies, including moral responsibility, the afterlife and judgement, determinism and free will. The resources suggested here explore this complex and long-disputed concept in simple and accessible formats. As the self can be studied as a philosophical, psychological and theological construct, I have included resources from various disciplines – each encourages students to grapple with both the nature of ‘selfhood’ and how such an abstract concept is vital in real-world situations.
