Most philosophers writing about personal identity in recent years
claim that what it takes for us to persist through time is a matter
of psychology. In this groundbreaking new book, Eric Olson argues
that such approaches face daunting problems, and he defends in
their place a radically non-psychological account of personal
identity. He defines human beings as biological organisms, and
claims that no psychological relation is either sufficient or
necessary for an organism to persist. Rejecting several famous
thought experiments dealing with personal identity, he instead
argues that one could survive the destruction of all of one's
psychological contents and capabilities as long as the human
organism remains alive.
