When we seek to answer the question “who am I?” our name and genealogy will not suffice; instead our identity is our “sense of self and sense of worth; it’s our core trust and our source of value and recognition. … It’s whatever [we] look to as the ultimate source of our security and worth.” (Keller) Put another way, our identity is “defined by the commitments and identifications which provide the frame or horizon within which I can try to determine from case to case what is good, or valuable, or what ought to be done or what I endorse or oppose.” (Charles Taylor, Sources of the Self)
