Exploring the Origins of Selfhood at Coursera Course details
- This course is an immersive journey that invites learners to unravel the intricate tapestry of selfhood and identity across different periods and contexts. Learners will will develop critical thinking skills, enhance their self-awareness, and foster a deeper understanding of their own identity and its interconnectedness with societal, cultural, and digital influences. What sets this course apart is its interdisciplinary approach, blending historical, philosophical, psychological, sociological, digital, and global perspectives. It provides a holistic exploration of identity, reflecting the complexity of selfhood in the modern world. This course not only equips learners with knowledge but also empowers them to understand and navigate their identity in an ever-evolving world.
- Starting with historical and philosophical perspectives, the course spans from ancient philosophies to present-day theories, revealing how luminaries like Plato, Descartes, and contemporary scholars have informed our understanding of selfhood. Students will delve deeper into the realm of identity formation, analyzing the impact of both psychological and social influences. As we navigate an increasingly digital era, learners will investigate the complex relationship between technology, self-perception, and the management of digital identities. We will scrutinize the influence of social media on self-esteem and the ethics involved in online identity construction. Lastly, in the global context, we will explore how globalization interplays with cultural identity, the concept of cultural assimilation, the emergence of hybrid identities, and the significance of cultural heritage in identity shaping.
