In “Where Am I?”, Daniel Dennett explores the relationship between personal identity and location by outlining increasingly confounding situations.

This separation of one into two takes place when a duplicate of Dennett’s original brain is created and connected to his new body; by the psychological/memory

Composers often shape their work around the prism of their own experiences to allow the audience to understand the composer 's perception of the world.

The Bible emphasizes that Jerusalem was chosen by God and honored by Israelites, which differentiates it as a special, singular space; the description of Solomon’s Temple shows that the Holy City was interrelated to economic

The books of 1-2 Samuel formed from the transition from the era of judges to the era of kings. The book of Judges introduces the long years of Israel’s struggle to maintain control of the Promised Land from the death of Joshua until the rise of the kings.
