Summary/Abstract: The terms used here: The Self, God, divinity, immortality, truth, life, reason etc. come from day to day language, but have a philosophical potential. (Through immortality, for example, I understand the continuation of the self’s own duration in a reality of a different nature, immanent or transcendent). Their stake is seen by placing the issue into context, such that the options that are studies better explain these concepts’ place in a world which fits them. The concepts used are coextensive with all possible inherent worlds – at first – from a logical standpoint, and are circular, dependent and tributary to a metaphorical traditional language. This analysis aims to reduce the current questions regarding the self to a narrower spectre, depending on the existence or not of divinity and the immortality or not of the human self.
