Synopsis

In this book, Eli Hirsch focuses on identity through time, first with respect to ordinary bodies, then underlying matter, and eventually persons. These are linked at various points with other aspects of identity, such as the spatial unity of things, the unity of kinds, and the unity of groups. He investigates how our identity concept ordinarily operates in these respects. He also asks why this concept is so cental to our thinking and whether we can justify seeing the world in terms of such a concept.

This is the revised and updated edition of a hardback published in 1982.

Revue de presse

Hirsch's book is required reading for anyone with a serious interest in identity in particular and metaphysics in general. The book is tightly argued, clearly written, and filled with fascinating material. (Philosophical Review)

Careful and painstaking ... The standard of argument is high and Hirsch has something interesting to say on every topic he discusses. I believe that no one interested in its sucject could read this book without profit. (Philosophical Quarterly)
