From the self-help industry to the contemporary focus on mental health, the ancient Greek maxim 'Know Thyself', is very much in fashion. But many would argue it is an impossible dream. We can't catch sight of ourselves, and the attempt to do so often leaves us lost and confused. What's more, from the notorious serial killer Ted Bundy to drug addicts who's lives are in ruin, individuals can be well aware of their failings but unable or unwilling to change.
Should we see knowing ourselves as a dangerous philosophical mistake and instead focus on specific and practical change instead? Is the illusion of self knowledge a reason to reject psychoanalysis in favour of alternatives like behaviour therapy? Or is knowing ourselves, not only a real possibility but a vehicle for improving our lives?
