The Simple View of Personal Identity, the Possibility of Exotic
Switch, the Unknowability of the Self and the Combined Spectrum
This paper explores an often neglected view in philosophical debates
about personal identity and the nature of persons. This view is
simply dubbed as the simple view of personal identity. That this is
an often neglected view is shown by the number of philosophers
supporting it. Be that as it may, it still could be characterized as
a tenable alternative theory of personal identity.
The simple view is often formulated in different ways, but amidst
these varying formulations, one main thesis could be highlighted.
The thesis can be formulated as follows: there is no substantive,
informative, criterion of personal identity. That is, it is not
possible to state, in a non-trivial way, what constitutes personal
identity through time.
This paper has two main aims. First is to flesh out what this main
thesis could mean, and show what commitments it could entail. Second
is to address three objections made against the simple view: a) the
exotic switch argument, b) the unknowability of the self objection,
and c) Parfit’s combined spectrum argument.
