‘This volume gathers together important essays from two generations of debate concerning the problem of personal identity. Does identity matter as much as survival? Is survival based on psychological continuity or on the animal body? Does the self last through a lifetime, or for much shorter periods of time? Should ethical issues about personhood constrain our metaphysical conceptions of the person? The editors provide a historical framework that places all of these questions in clear perspective.’ Shaun Gallagher, Canisius College, Buffalo, New York <!--end-->

‘A balanced and stimulating anthology, capped by a valuable historical survey of the issues. It's a natural for either primary or secondary class readings.’ Stephen Braude, University of Maryland Baltimore County

‘This volume is a balanced collection of important contemporary essays on personal identity. The editors’ detailed historical overview provides a useful context for the essays. Overall, the book will be an excellent text for graduate and upper-level undergraduate courses, as well as a convenient resource for professional philosophers.’ Lynne Rudder Baker, University of Massachusetts-Amherst
