In this article, the author explores the concept of personhood and identity. Drawing from philosopher Amélie Rorty's book "The Identities of Persons," the author discusses the different layers of personhood, including characters, figures, selves, individuals, and presences. Each layer represents a different mode of being and has its own set of powers, responsibilities, and relationships. The author emphasizes the importance of maintaining the integrity of our identity in the face of societal pressures to compartmentalize ourselves. Identity crises may arise when we question who we truly are beneath our various roles and experiences.
