Self and Identity

Beschreibung

Trenton Merricks argues that we can't understand personal identity without bringing together the ethical and the metaphysical issues. While identity is not what matters in survival, it delivers what matters in survival: the appropriateness of first-personal anticipation of, and self-interested concern for, a future person.
