To be clear and I not saying we are not at all what we do, just that we are

reducible
to our actions: a self is not a mere 'doing' and neither is a disposition.
Not everything that exists is a 'doing'.

I find it odd that Donal McEvoy should speak of 'selfhood'. As I understand,
Popper denied the idea of (his) selfhood?
Selfhood is one of the most metaphysical notions of all time. Almost like
'togetherness'.
