Ownership and Sense of Self I do believe that ownership is the foundation to a person’s sense of self with possessions whether it is tangible or intangible.

Other philosophers‚ such as Aristotle‚ describes that it is only the tangible objects that have an influence on the morals and identity of a person. However‚ I believe it is the
