Title: David Braddon-Mitchell
Personal 'identity' in degrees
What if personal ‘identity’ was something that could come in continuous
degrees? How would that affect decisions if we had to way up the impact on
beings that were, to a different degree, the ‘same’ person as us? I suggest
that it supports the idea that personal identity is not an identity
relation at all, and that it makes it more clear that a certain amount of
conceptual engineering is required around the concept, and that it
illuminates the relationship between what I call ‘sticky folk concepts’ -
concepts that are part of our mental firmware, and will continue to exist
no matter how much engineering we do - and the successor concepts we
develop.
