Philosophy of Identity
The Philosophy of Identity examines the core question: What makes an individual uniquely themselves? This intriguing field explores concepts like personal identity, selfhood, and the continuity of identity over time. Ancient thinkers like Heraclitus pondered the constancy of change, while Locke introduced the ‘memory theory’ of personal identity. In the 20th century, philosophers like Wittgenstein and Parfit debated the criteria for personal identity, including psychological continuity and physicality.
