This page is a personal homework reflection for Kira's Ways of Knowing workshop.
Framing
The question about being real "as a person" can be framed in different ways:
- What is "reality"?
- What is a "person"?
- What is being-real-as-a-person "in general"?
- What does it mean, in an analytic, theological, or philosophical sense for a person to be real?
- What does it mean to me to be real "as a person"?
- What is it like for me as a person to be "real"? (What is my experience of "being real"?)
- How can I be (or rather, what can I do) to experience myself, as "more real"?
While all of these have some interest and value, I prefer to start at the end of the list (experience and practice) and work backwards.
