	AllRefer.com - identity (Philosophy, Terms And Concepts) - Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		identity, in philosophy, problem of distinguishing sameness from change, or unity from diversity; primarily examined in connection with personal identity, universals, and the law of identity in logic.
		In personal identity the concern has been to determine whether anything in the body or mind remains constant; philosophers have reached no general agreement on this point.
		The terms "identity crisis" and "identity confusion," introduced by Erikson, have gained a wide usage, which often varies from their intended technical sense.

	Identity Theory [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		The contingency of mind-brain identity relations also serves to answer the objection that since presently accepted correlations may very well be empirically invalidated in the future, mental states and brain states should not be viewed as identical.
		Token Identity theories hold that every concrete particular falling under a mental kind can be identified with some physical (perhaps neurophysiological) happening or other: instances of pain, for example, are taken to be not only instances of a mental state (e.g., pain), but instances of some physical state as well (say, c-fiber excitation).
		The search for species- or system-specific identities is thereby rendered unnecessary, as mental states such as pain could eventually be identified with the (potentially infinite) disjunctive physical state of, say, c-fiber excitation (in humans), d-fiber excitation (in mollusks), and e-network state (in a robot).

	Identity Politics
		What is crucial about the “identity” of identity politics appears to be the experience of the subject, especially his or her experience of oppression and the possibility of a shared and more authentic alternative.
		In the case of identity politics, two claims stand out as plausibly “essentialist:” the first is the understanding of the subject that makes a single axis of identity stand in for the whole, as if being Asian-American, for example, were entirely separable from being a woman.
		Identity politics, for these critics, is both factionalizing and depoliticizing, drawing attention away from the ravages of late capitalism toward superstructural cultural accommodations that leave economic structures unchanged.

		Identity is the primal form of idealist ideology, and Georg Lukacs and Theodor Adorno elaborate this claim as a critique characteristic of Western Marxism (following Hegel’s combined critique of empirical and rational, material and ideal modes in early modern philosophies).
		Identity as a social- psychological category emerged in the early 1960s as a means of explaining identity crises and problems of ethnic minorities in New York City in the humanist terms of psychology.
		Though ethnically tending, identity is a mechanical rather than a vital term from the outset, and in the context of the mechanics of statecraft, the notion of identity remains privileged towards the idea of a national-cultural form of ascriptive unity.

		This paper will examine t'aegwondo modern history and development and analyze the identity problem that arose as a result of the lack of recognition of competition t'aegwondo as that t'aegwondo which was actually developed in Korea and which possesses an original nature different from that of karate.
		Finally the basis for a philosophy of t'aegwondo will be proposed which, it is hoped, will assist in overcoming its division into sport and martial art, as well as, aid in providing a proper understanding of the identify and nature t'aegwondo as determined by the actual techniques, training methods and culture of t'aegwondo.
		These principles and philosophies support the perception of t'aegwondo's nature as that of a martial art of self-defense whose core training methods consisted of the so-called "four elements" of forms (p'umse or hyung), breaking (kyukpa), sparring (kyorugi) and self-defense techniques (hoshinsul).

		Argues that the identity theory is compatible with linguistic dualism, as the mental and the physical may differ in intensional properties only.
		On the identity theory as a linguistic proposal, compatible with dualism; epiphenomenalism and parallelism must be false, leaving interactionism.
		On some problems for the identity theory arising from the intensionality of mental states and from the appeal to properties, and on how to modify the translation form of the theory without embracing the disappearance version.

	Personal Identity
		Your individual psychological identity is a property that you might have for a while and then lose.
		Identity over time is a tricky concept, and the Persistence Question is often stated in a misleading or tendentious way.
		One response to the first problem is to switch from direct to indirect memory connections: the old woman is the young student because she can recall experiences the lawyer had at a time when the lawyer remembered the student's life.

		Identity and continuity: I started with the premise that “identity” functions as a principle of continuity.
		When a blogger chooses to keep his or her “real name” concealed, so as not to be associated with the observations contained in the blog, he or she may be evading accountability in a way that warrants criticism.
		Yet we wouldn’t want to lump the discreet blogger who wants not to be spammed, harassed, and possibly fired for expressing her mind freely into the same category as the malevolent blogger who uses pseudonymity as a device for trolling, flaming, baiting, and generally propounding outrageously offensive codswallop.

	Friederich Wilhelm Joseph von Schelling
		Schelling's 'identity philosophy', which is another version of his Naturphilosophie, begins in 1801, and is summarized in the assertion that 'Existence is the link of a being as One, with itself as a multiplicity'.
		The philosophy of Die Weltalter (The Ages of the World), on which Schelling worked during the 1810s and 1820s, interprets the intelligible world, including ourselves, as the result of an ongoing conflict between expansive and contractive forces.
		What he terms 'positive' philosophy tries to come to terms with the facticity of 'being which is absolutely independent of all thinking' (2 (3): 164).

		The version of physicalism that gained ground in the middle of this century was in the first place committed to the identity thesis, namely, that every property (and thereby every mental property) is identical with some physical property.
		The way in which this constitutes a problem for identity theories is by implying a failure of coextension.
		IT2 is not, of course, an identity theory in the standard sense.

	Philosophy, et cetera: Personal Identity
		That our identities may change from moment to moment does not mean there is not enough of a constant (consciousness) to be invested into.
		Having briefly gone over the same subject (Identity) last semester in Philosophy of Religion, I decided that I might take a different route to the obvious one, and explore a theory that was mostly brushed over in class.
		But if you are in fact a new person altogether and have no memories of being another person, would a lawyer say that you have to give those possessions to a person previously known as your brother, or that because there has been physical continuity the possessions are still yours.

		He makes use of thought experiments to explore the nature of personal identity but also draws extensively on reports of the effects of surgical division of the corpus callosum.
		Philosophers often refer, disparagingly, to "folk psychology", meaning the kind of psychology that most of us (including, probably, most philosophers when they are off-duty) use in everyday life to understand our family, friends, and acquaintances.
