Identity

What Identity does a person have who has no identity?

He has the greatest identity, he is one with the earth’s natural way or “Tao” if you will. He is completely liquid and yeilding and thus can live without conflict.

True. But what identity is he precieved to have from society? Can a man through societal perceptions have no identity?

He has the identity of all that he personally knows to be true about himself. :wink:

Right but I’m asking from societies perspective.

Oh, sorry, I didn’t realize that’s what you were trying to ask. Oh well.

Okay, um, what about DNA? Or, is that ruled-out, as well? :confused: :wink:

I would like to know what social identity this person is labeled with if he may be labeled with any at all.

Okay, thanks for clarifying that.

To answer the question, I’d say that I don’t think the person would have any identity. In the real world, I guess he’d be re-issued a new identity (one that was totally different from his original one) just so that he could participate in life (so to speak).

:confused: :wink:

What do you mean by identity? Like a stereotype? Name? Description? Etc.?

It seems to me that a man without an identity through societal perceptions is a man who is unknown to the particular society.

I think his identity will be ‘identity-less’. It’s very unique to have no identity at all because very few people are like that, so people will readily recognize him. Irony…
:astonished:

That is ironic. It made me smile :smiley:

Identity from society’s perspective is meaningless, except in the form of proof of identification. Is that what you meant? If that is what you meant, then it means he can’t buy beer.

I realize that. It was just wierd because I smoked up and realized I have no identity lol so I was just curiouse. I could care less about what society thinks too :sunglasses:

what is identity according to you? Maybe you have no identity with yourself, but with all of us you are the underground man.
To me if you have a personality then you have an identity,therefore you only exlude yourself.

is identity how you see yourself? the entire you? what you do? or how other people see you?

maybe that’s just different types of identity…

Yes, idetity can be realtive in this case. :wink:

identity is and personality are the sum and results of our choices. From societal prespective “he” will have the identity basedon his choise. If “he” lives on the street and has no shelter or food, he has the identity of a begger
