Self and Identity

Beschreibung

Trenton Merricks shows that we cannot get clear about personal identity unless we bring together the ethics and the metaphysics. He argues that, while identity is not what matters in survival, it delivers what matters in survival, which is the appropriateness of first-personal anticipation of, and self-interested concern for, a future person.
