Paul Helm
Considers the argument that nothing that exists timelessly could be a person. But the philosophical idea of a person is itself unclear: different philosophers make different claims. Three main arguments against the idea of a timeless person—from memory, purpose, and knowledge—and a fourth, from agency, are considered and rebutted.
Keywords: agency, knowledge, memory, person, purpose
