Subtitles (86 segments)
Throughout the history of mankind,
three little words have sent poets to the blank page,
philosophers to the Agora,
and seekers to the oracles:
"Who am I?"
From the ancient Greek aphorism inscribed on the Temple of Apollo,
"Know thyself,"
to The Who's rock anthem, "Who Are You?"
philosophers, psychologists, academics,
scientists, artists, theologians and politicians
have all tackled the subject of identity.
Their hypotheses are widely varied and lack significant consensus.
These are smart, creative people,
so what's so hard about coming up with the right answer?
One challenge certainly lies
with the complex concept of the persistence of identity.
Which you is who?
The person you are today?
