Hi philosophers. Thank you for your time. <br><br>I *naturally* believe I am a person, you know, a "being with a consciousness", "someone who is alive", "a human with thoughts and feelings", etc. A person is an existent being. I've thought about this topic for a few minutes, but I can't figure it out. How can I be absolutely sure that I am a person?<br><br>\--------------<br><br>Edit: *naturally* is a synonym for empirically or rationally (don't know if the translation is correct). I naturally feed myself by looking for food when I'm hungry. I don't *naturally* eat food that's about to go bad because I'm worried it will be wasted.<br><br>Edit: I am not simply asking "how do I know I am a person?". I'm asking "how do I *naturally* know I'm a person?".
