You appeals to the inner self, your conscience, your soul, your spirit, ourselves.
But in doing so are we appealing to a fiction
a fiction of a fixed, inner, essential mind.
Some would submit that we don‟t have minds, for it is Language and Culture that has our minds.
Yes we have brains for the brain belongs to the
individual, the mind does not. For the mind is not private the human mind is produced by language and language is not private, it owns us rather than we owning it.
