The Human Animal: Personal Identity Without Psychology
Eric T. Olson
Abstract
This book argues that our identity over time involves no psychological facts. Psychological accounts of personal identity lead to grave metaphysical problems, and the arguments for them are inconclusive. The book argues that we are animals, and thus have the purely biological identity conditions of animals.
Keywords: animalism, animals, death, metaphysics, personal identity, psychological continuity, self
