Identity, Personal Identity and the Self (Hardcover)

This volume collects a number of Perry's classic works on personal identity as well as three new pieces: The Relativity of individuation; Informative Identities; and Personal Identity and the Concept of Person, Part II; which, together with Part I, constitutes an historical and critical survey of the literature from Locke to the 1990s. Perry's introduction puts his own work and that of others on the issues of identity and personal identity in the context of philosophical studies of mind and language over the past thirty years.
