An examination and defence of the concept of personality, long
central to Western moral culture but now increasingly under attack,
by a leading European philosopher. It takes issue with major
contemporary philosophers, especially in the English-speaking world
(such as Parfit and Singer), who have contributed to the eclipse of
the idea, and traces the debate back to the foundations of modern
philosophy in Descartes and Locke. There are extended discussions
of the sources of the idea in Christian theology and its
development in Western philosophy. There are also a number of
pointed discussions of pressing practical questions - for example,
our treatment of the severely disabled human and the moral status
of intelligent non-human animals. The book covers a great deal of
ground before coming to a focused conclusion: all human beings are
persons - and perhaps all porpoises, too!
