More on Narrative Selves
I'll probably talk more about this subject later. See my last post for more. But if you want to preempt me, look into:
Dan Dennett on the Self as the Narrative Center of Gravity-
(note, I haven't read this in full, but I have read other things he's written on the subject and heard him speak about it)
(note also, that this theory is held by Dennett, of new-atheist fame but something very similar is proposed by Ricoeur, a prominent Christian philosopher, on the becoming self. For those even more philosophically inclined, look into becoming vs. being and the philosophy of self. That rabbit hole goes very, very far down and leads you to the fundamentals of ontology and epistemology, so be warned.)
