Personal Identity [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] The persistence question, the question of what personal identity over time consists in, is literally a question of life and death: answers to it determine, insofar as that is possible, the conditions under which we survive, or cease to exist in the course of, certain adventures. ...a physiological criterion of personal identity is false. In fact, Descartes' own view that personal identity is determined by "vital union" relations between pure Egos and bodies, with the persistence of the Ego being regarded as sufficient for the persistence of the person but the person not being wholly identifiable with the Ego, could be a weakly reductive view of persons. www.iep.utm.edu /p/person-i.htm   (7964 words)

John Locke > The Immateriality of the Soul and Personal Identity (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy) Both in his discussion of personal identity and in his discussion of the immateriality of the soul in Book IV of the Essay Locke is agnostic about the immateriality of the soul. In this chapter on identity, Locke is also making a distinction between consciousness and the soul, but that distinction is not crucial to the resolution of the kinds of problems that Boyle considered in his essay on the resurrection. In section 12 of the Chapter of Identity and Diversity he raises the question: “…if the same Substance which thinks be changed, it can be the same person, or remaining the same, it can be a different person.” Locke's answer to both of these questions is affirmative. plato.stanford.edu /entries/locke/supplement.html   (1750 words)

Identity Nevertheless personal self-esteem is a central issue for the identity, and learning to love and accept yourself is a prerequisite before you can function well in a relationship. Personal power is a natural asset - as you will discover after a number of significant personal crises which lead to a revaluation of your role. You may be elected as a figurehead, and your personal character can filter down to those you are connected to and have a profound affect on their lives. www.mindspring.com /~minimonster/my02identity.htm   (2893 words)

Personal Identity (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy) Your individual psychological identity is a property (or set of properties), and presumably one that you have only contingently: you might have had a different identity from the one you in fact have. Necessarily, a person who exists at one time is identical with a person who exists at another time if and only if the former person can, at the former time, remember an experience the latter person had at the latter time, or vice versa. Then we can say that a person who exists at one time is identical with something existing at another time if and only if the first is, at the first time, psychologically continuous with the second as she is at the second time. plato.stanford.edu /entries/identity-personal   (10008 words)

Psychology of Cyberspace - Identity Management in Cyberspace   (Site not responding. Last check: ) The username you choose, the details you do or don't indicate about yourself, the information presented on your personal web page, the persona or avatar you assume in an online community - all are important aspects of how people manage their identity in cyberspace. The desire to lurk - to hide completely - indicates the person's need to split off his entire personal identity from his observing of those around him: he wants to look, but not be seen. There are personalities that want to show and not receive too much by using web cams or creating web pages; to receive and not show too much by lurking or web browsing; and still others who want to dive into highly interactive social environments where both showing and receiving thrive. www.rider.edu /suler/psycyber/identitymanage.html   (1903 words)

Locke on Personal Identity (Kevin Anderson) Locke’s handling of substance and of person seems clearly to imply that a person is a substance of a certain kind, and he often says as much, outright; this implies that to continue to be the same person is to continue to be the same substance; yet Locke flatly denies this. Flew attacks Locke’s thesis that “x at time two is the same person as Y at time one if and only is x and y are both persons and x can remember at time two what y did, or felt, or what have you, at time one.”  He attacks this view in two ways. Noonan defends “Locke’s account of personal identity against three well known objections.”  Two of these objections are ones made by Shoemaker and the other one is made by Flew in a different article from the one cited above. www.trinity.edu /cbrown/modern/litrev/Locke-Identity(Anderson).html   (3098 words)

Personal Identity Therefore, he is quite willing to accept the question of identity as a paradox (all possible answers are implausible), as long as he can slip the question of survival (which seems to him the more critical) past the paradox, hidden under the cloak of the theory of descendant selves. The bodily identity theory would declare that the brainless (and presumably dead) original body was the only resulting person, and the placement of halves of the brain in two other new bodies is irrelevant. To me, this is like claiming that a person at sixty, because she has changed over fifty-five years, no longer has the same personal identity as when she was five. ccwf.cc.utexas.edu /~govind/stories/identity.html   (1629 words)

Dave's Page - Personal Identity Notes Weirob wants an alternative theory of identity that: (a) provides a means for surviving the death of her body; and (b) does not yield a contradiction or absurdity. At this point, everyone's assuming there are only two possibilities: the source of personal identity is either the brain (the seat of psychology) or the body. Thus, the source of personal identity is not the brain (i.e., it is the body). www.csun.edu /~ds56723/phil150/hout150pinotes.htm   (836 words)

PERSONAL SURVIVAL AND THE CLOSEST Personal survival requires strict personal identity between the pre-mortem individual whose survival is in question, and the post-mortem individual whose continued existence would seem to provide the answer. The claim that bodily identity could be a necessary condition of personal identity, when approached in a certain way, strikes most of us as clearly false. is to insist on bodily continuity as a logical criterion for personal identity. www.eou.edu /~jjohnson/personalsurvival.htm   (4228 words)

More About: Identity Theft   (Site not responding. Last check: ) Identity theft is when someone uses your personal information to commit fraud or another crime, posing as you.

Identity/Identity formation Encyclopedia of Psychology - Find Articles In addition to carving out a personal identity based on the need for uniqueness, people also acquire a social identity based on their membership in various groups-familial, ethnic, occupational, and others. Those who experience, confront, and resolve the identity crisis are referred to as "identity-achieved." Others, termed "identity-foreclosed," make commitments (often conventional ones, identical or similar to those of their parents) without questioning them or investigating alternatives. Although the phrase "identity crisis" was initially popularized in connection with adolescence, it is not limited to this time frame: Erikson himself initially formulated the concept in connection with World War II veterans. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_g2699/is_0001/ai_2699000172   (522 words)

Aspects of Identity Identity orientations refer to the relative importance that individuals place on various identity attributes or characteristics when constructing their self-definitions (Cheek, 1989). The development of the Aspects of Identity Questionnaire began with the selection of items from Sampson's (1978) list of identity characteristics that were judged to represent the domains of personal and social identity (Cheek & Briggs, 1981, 1982). Psychometric analyses indicated that certain items originally scored in the social identity category (e.g., "Being a part of the many generations of my family") were tending to cluster on a third factor representing communal or collective identity. www.wellesley.edu /Psychology/Cheek/identity.html   (540 words)

Philosophy, et cetera: Personal Identity I guess some peopel do indeed hate themselves but in general the person you will be in 1 day is a person who should be amongst hte most agreeable to yourself in the world whether it is you or not. That our identities may change from moment to moment does not mean there is not enough of a constant (consciousness) to be invested into. 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. pixnaps.blogspot.com /2005/02/personal-identity.html   (3560 words)

Of Personal Identity But self or person is not any one impression, but that to which our several impressions and ideas are supposed to have a reference. The first is our present subject; and to explain it perfectly we must take the matter pretty deep, and account for that identity, which we attribute to plants and animals; there being a great analogy betwixt it and the identity of a self or person. It follows, therefore, that the thought alone finds personal identity, when reflecting on the train of past perceptions, that compose a mind, the ideas of them are felt to be connected together, and naturally introduce each other. www.anselm.edu /homepage/dbanach/pi.htm   (1866 words)

Locke: Knowledge The identity of the tree outside my window, for example, does not depend on the substantial identity of its parts (in fact, they change from day to day and season to season); what matters in this case is the organization of those parts into a common life. The idea of the person is that of a moral agent who can be held responsible for his or her actions. This is, as Locke says, a "forensic" notion of personal identity; its aim is to secure the justice and effectiveness of moral sanctions. www.philosophypages.com /hy/4m.htm   (1825 words)
