Personal Identity and Fitness

In this episode James and Robby discuss the connection personal
identity and fitness.


One of the central, perennial philosophical questions is the
question of personal identity.


Questions like the following are central to the personal identity
question:


-Who am I?


-What makes me me as opposed to someone or something else?


-Am I my body? Am I my thoughts?


Am I my continuous consciousness?


-Clearly our bodies, thoughts, and consciousness change
throughout life so what makes us, us over time?


How does this all relate to fitness?


Well, we can ask questions like:-How closely connected are the
body and mind to who we are?


-Does fitness strengthen the connection between the body and the
mind?


-What does physical fitness or engaging in health practices to
cultivate the body teach us about who we are?


-How is fitness linked to the idea of thinking great thoughts?


-Are those who engage in physical fitness smarter or more,
well-adjusted people?
