Conclusion
Conclusion
The conclusion summarizes the overall argument of the manuscript and outlines some of the key moves made in developing and defending the Person Life View. These include a new way of framing the question of personal identity and an emphasis on the social aspects of personhood and personal identity, which calls for a rethinking of what is to be learned from the use of thought experiments. There is further argument that the Person Life View provides an account of our literal identity according to which facts about identity are inherently linked to practical considerations, and reiterates the reasons we have for desiring such an account, reasons that are further supported by details which have emerged over the course of the argument.
