We consider philosophical approaches to the question of personal change, focusing on a paper by Marya Schechtman entitled ‘Glad it Happened: Personal Identity and Ethical Depth’. Is the self diachronic, extending over time? Or is it episodic, identical with itself only for short periods? For Schechtman, self-experience is multiperspectival, comprising both temporally extended and temporally local perspectives; we contain many selves and this fact is central to the complexity of our moral life. We look closely at pages 137-182 of Annie Ernaux’s The Years to see whether the author’s rendering of her own self in time reflects such multiperspectivalism. Hosts: Scarlett Baron, Associate Professor of English at University College London.Alice Harberd, PhD student in the Philosophy Department at University College London.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/F8C9khm2Hq9Fu3lMgP2wVlZ5oyK1Py6hx3MBE1CBYHs/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9iN2Yw/NDE2NWE1MjEyM2I3/YWZjZTFiM2Q4ZWVk/ZjU2NS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
