PHYSICALLY BASED SUBJECTS AND THEIR EXPERIENCES: AGAINST THE SIX METAPHYSICAL DOCTRINES 330 $aThe topic of personal identity has prompted some of the liveliest and most interesting debates in recent philosophy. In a fascinating new contribution to the discussion, Peter Unger presents a psychologically aimed, but physically based, account of our identity over time. While supporting theaccount, he explains why many influential contemporary philosophers have underrated the importance of physical continuity to our survival, casting a new light on the work of Lewis, Nagel, Nozick, Parfit, Perry, Shoemaker, and others. Deriving from his discussion of our identity itself, Ungerproduces a nov 606 $aIdentity (Philosophical concept) 606 $aConsciousness 606 $aValues 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aIdentity (Philosophical concept) 615 0$aConsciousness. 615 0$aValues. 676 $a111.82 700 $aUnger$b Peter$0245439 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451956703321 996 $aIdentity, consciousness, and value$91971831 997 $aUNINA
