Synopsis
Exploring personal identity and thinking in the debate around Locke
A critical look at how Mr. Locke’s idea of Personal Identity is described and challenged. The text examines arguments, objections, and counterpoints about what makes a person the same over time, especially in cases of thinking, memory, and the mind’s relation to the body.
This edition frames the discussion with excerpts and commentary that compare Locke’s views with those of critics, including how dreams, sanity, and the nature of consciousness affect identity. It aims to clarify complex ideas while avoiding speculation beyond what the source presents, making a challenging topic accessible to readers of philosophy and theology.
- Clarifies how Personal Identity is defined in philosophical terms and its practical implications.
- Outlines objections and defenses related to the mind–body relationship and memory.
- Discusses the role of consciousness, dreams, and sanity in determining identity.
- Offers insights into how critiques treat the consistency of a person across different states of mind.
Ideal for readers of philosophy, early modern thought, and readers seeking a careful critique of the Lockeian view of self and personal continuity.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book contends that notable early Enlightenment philosopher John Locke's ideas on personal identity are largely misunderstood. The author notes that Locke's work has been both praised and criticized, and that many readers have missed Locke's true intent. The author argues that Locke's own views on this topic have been misrepresented, leading to a significant misunderstanding of his philosophical system. The author also examines the ideas of several other notable thinkers, including Dr. Samuel Butler and the author of An Enquiry into the Nature of the Human Soul, to provide a comprehensive view of the philosophical landscape surrounding the concept of personal identity. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330537305_0
