Throughout the history, one of the deepest questions mankind has asked itself is the question of its true identity: Who am I?

While science refers human beings as a biological organism, philosophers understood that this perspective isn’t sufficient. Our body is changing continuously, yet we remain ourselves. For example, it is claimed that every seven years all the cells of our body are being replaced. So the body I have now is not the body I had seven years ago, yet I remained. So what is this “I” that remained?

He suggested that what makes a person himself is a minimal amount of memory that must remain constant throughout his life.
