Personal Identity: A Defence of Locke

Philosophy 50 (192):169 - 187 (1975)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

The theory of personal identity should illuminate and be illuminated by the theory of personality, of which it is a part. I believe that Locke's theory succeeds in this more than that of any other great philosopher, and the modifications which it may need are not fundamental ones. The problems raised by Butler and Flew can be made to disappear.
