In Personal Identity and Literature, Hogan examines what makes an
individual a particular, unique self. He draws on cognitive and
affective science as well as literary works - from Walt Whitman and
Frederick Douglass to Dorothy Richardson, Alice Munro, and J. M.
Coetzee. His scholarly analyses are also intertwined with more
personal reflections, on for example his mother's memory loss. The
result is a work that examines a complex topic by drawing on a
unique range of resources, from empirical psychology and philosophy
to novels, films, and biographical experiences. The book provides a
clear, systematic account of personal identity that is
theoretically strong, but also unique and engaging.
