It argues that while there is a metaphysical answer to the question of personal identity, there is no metaphysical answer to the question of what constitutes a person. The author argues against both body-mind dualism and physicalism and also against the idea that there is some metaphysically real category of persons distinct from the category of human beings or human organisms. Instead, the author presents neutral-monist, autopoietic-enactivist kind of metaphysics of the human being, and a relational, and completely human-dependent notion of a person. The tools used in these arguments include conceptual argumentation and empirical case studies. Using both personal experiences and studies of cultures all over the world, the author examines dualism between mind and body. The author discusses real people who seem to live a Cartesian life, as somehow disembodied minds as well as the concept of the person. The author uses the concluding chapters to present their own views arguing that questions about our identity should be separated from questions of our personhood as well as the concept of personhood. This volume is of interest to scholars of philosophy of mind. 410 0$aStudies in Brain and Mind,$x2468-399X ;$v21 606 $aPhilosophy of mind 606 $aPhilosophy of Mind 615 0$aPhilosophy of mind. 615 14$aPhilosophy of Mind. 676 $a128.2 676 $a126 700 $aMeijsing$b Monica$01252969 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910586589203321 996 $aA Philosophy of Person and Identity$92904898 997 $aUNINA
