Arguing for an original approach to the problem of change and the self, this is a critique of the naturalism which is dominant in the contemporary philosophy of the English-speaking world. It sees the problem as a philosophical puzzle to which naturalistic science has no answer. Whenever a thing changes, however slightly, it becomes in some ways unlike it was. But how is it possible for anything to be both like and unlike itself? This book explores the conditions that make the idea of change intelligible, in particular the connection between the possibility of change and the existence of selves.
