Staying Alive: Personal Identity, Practical Concerns, and the Unity of a Life

Staying Alive: Personal Identity, Practical Concerns, and the Unity of a Life Marya Schechtman offers a new theory of personal identity, which captures the importance of being able to reidentify people in our daily lives. She sees persons as loci of practical interaction, and defines the unity of such a locus in terms of biological, psychological, and social functions, mediated through social and cultural infrastructure.
