Person (German, Book)

The philosophical question of the identity of a person has not been posed precisely enough. Contrary to the term s use in everyday life, and even within philosophy, the identity of a person is not a unified phenomenon. Rather, the identity of a personhas to be analysedin terms ofthe following questions: What determines the entity of a person? What has to happen so that a personfrom yesterday is identical to theperson of today? What do we regard as identity in the sense of self-understanding and self-awareness? This book shows how in our everydayunderstanding the two identities of humanpersons persistence and personality intertwine.
