Inhaltsangabe

The subject of personal identity is one of the most central and most contested in philosophy. This book argues that, as things stand, the debate is unresolvable since both sides (psychological and bodily) hold coherent positions that our common sense will embrace. Our very common sense, the author maintains, is conflicted, so any resolution to the debate is bound to be revisionary. The author offers such a revisionary theory of personal identity by first inquiring into the nature of persons.
