Is there a bodily criterion of personal identity?
In Fraser MacBride (ed.), Identity and Modality. Oxford University Press (2006)
| Abstract | One of the main problems of personal identity is supposed to be how we relate to our bodies. A few philosophers endorse what is called a 'bodily criterion of personal identity': they say that we are our bodies, or at any rate that our identity over time consists in the identity of our bodies. Many more deny this--typically on the grounds that we can imagine ourselves coming apart from our bodies. But both sides agree that the bodily criterion is an important view which anyone thinking about personal identity must consider. | |||||||||
