I agree and disagree to so many things Galen had to say. In his first paragraph he list three different philosophers, who in some way all state that we as human beings are all narrative who write stories about our lives. Then he goes on to say how he doesn’t believe that. Galen thinks its “false that everyone stories themselves” but if we aren’t the ones telling our story, who is? I really didn’t agree with him on that part. However liked what Schechtman had to day about “autobiographical narrative which acts as the lens through which we experience the world”, our autobiographical narrative tells us a lot about who we are, therefore how we see the world and the people around us.
The one thing I did agree with Galen that we can posses many selves. At first when I read it I thought it was strange but me made me think and I would have to agree because I think that with certain situations or even conversations a different form of oneself can come out. I don’t like the idea of being two or more different people but I think with who your around and the situations you can act differently.
