Personal identity is the philosophical issue that deals with the
problem of what makes a person persist over time. This inquiry
takes root deep in the history of philosophy and the campaign to
solve the problem never ceases. In the first section of this book I
will provide a brief sketch of the issue, introducing important
theories that contribute to the unraveling of the mystery. In
section 2 and 3 respectively, the dominant two views---the physical
approach and the psychological approach---will be examined in
detail, and the difficulties confronting them will be presented,
along with my comments on both views. I will, in the last section,
propose my own solution to the problem, claiming that the
sufficient and necessary condition for personal identity is neither
physical continuity nor psychological continuity, but both. The
work should serve as an introductory survey for those interested in
this particular philosophical issue and help shed some light on the
puzzle concerned.
