As witnessed by recent films such as Fight Club and Identity, our
culture is obsessed with multiple personality-a phenomenon raising
intriguing questions about personal identity. This study offers
both a full-fledged philosophical theory of personal identity and a
systematic account of multiple personality. Gunnarsson combines the
methods of analytic philosophy with close hermeneutic and
phenomenological readings of cases from different fields, focusing
on psychiatric and psychological treatises, self-help books,
biographies, and fiction. He develops an original account of
personal identity (the authorial correlate theory) and offers a
provocative interpretation of multiple personality: in brief,
"multiples" are right about the metaphysics but wrong about the
facts.
