People attribute a self to themselves. The sciences struggle to define what it is and how it comes about. However, they are certain that we have it and need it.

Dr. Heiko Reisch is a philosopher and works as a communication consultant and journalist. He is the author of "Kleine Geschichte der Philosophie" (A Short History of Philosophy) published by Springer VS.
