*** THIS IS NOT THE LATEST VERSION OF THIS NOTE ***


(For the live version and other versions of this Note, see the tables at the end)

This is mainly a place-holder1 for the categorised reading-list.

For the present, I just mention that I need to distinguish, as candidates for what we are, (human-) animals2, organisms3, persons4, bodies5, beings6 and brains7. Additionally, I need to treat of selves8 and maybe contrast terms like “mensch (Wikipedia: Mensch)” with “person”.
