Contents:
Human persons: numerical identity and essence -- Human persons: narrative identity and self-creation -- Identity, what we are, and the definition of death -- Advance directives, dementia, and the someone else problem -- Enhancement technologies and self-creation -- Prenatal identity: genetic interventions, reproductive choices.
Summary: When philosophers address personal identity, they usually explore numerical identity: what are the criteria for a person's continuing existence? When non-philosophers address it, they often have in mind narrative identity: which characteristics of a particular person are salient to her self-conception? This book develops accounts of both senses of identity.
