What is Personal Identity : Complex or Simple? about?
From The Publisher. We Take It For Granted That A Person Persists Over Time: When We Make Plans, We Assume That We Will Carry Them Out; When We Punish Someone For A Crime, We Assume That She Is The Same Person As The One Who Committed It. Metaphysical Questions Underlying These Assumptions Point Towards An Area Of Deep Existential And Philosophical Interest. In This Volume, Leading Metaphysicians Discuss Key Questions About Personal Identity, Including What Are We?, How Do We Persist?, And Which Conditions Guarantee Our Identity Over Time? They Discuss Whether Personal Identity Is Complex, Whereby It Is Analyzable In Terms Of Simpler Relations Such As Physical Or Psychological Features, Or Whether It Is Simple, Namely Something That Cannot Be Analyzed In Terms Of More Fundamental Relations. Their Essays Offer An Innovative Discussion Of This Topic And Will Be Of Interest To A Wide Readership In Metaphysics. Introduction -- Part I. Framing The Question: 1. Chitchat On Personal Identity David Barnett -- 2. In Search Of The Simple View Eric T. Olson -- 3. Personal Identity, Indeterminacy, And Obligation Ryan Wasserman -- 4.
