Synopsis
Opposing perspectives offer deep insight into identity
Personal Identity explores the idea of identity by way of a debate between prominent philosophers with competing points of view. Richard Swinburne presents personal identity in the context of dualism, while Sydney Shoemaker argues a materialist′s perspective in contrast. With each theory presented individually with illustrations and clear explanations, the second part of the book is devoted to each author′s reply and rebuttal to his opponent′s ideas. Whether exploring personal identity for the first time or delving deeper into an established philosophical niche, this book offers a lively discussion with much insight and room for analysis.
