Throughout
history, mankind has struggled with the epic question: “who am I?”, and each
time this question has been posed, we have been presented with the same
troubling answer: “I am a thinking body. I am soul, in the flesh.” At first,

further reflection, this proposed solution may pose more questions than it provides
answers. After all, what does being a thinking body really mean? Is the existence of such a paradox in a single entity even
possible?
