Our Identity, Responsibility and Biology
Philosophical Papers:3-14 (2004)
| Abstract | Eric Olson argues in The Human Animal that thought-experiments involving body-swapping do not in the end offer any support to psychological continuity theories, nor do they pose any threat to his Biological View. I argue that he is mistaken in at least the second claim. | |||||||||
