Description
What makes you the same person today as you were a decade ago, and what does that mean for the question of immortality? In A Dialogue on Personal Identity and Immortality, John Perry tackles one of philosophy's most enduring problems through a Socratic dialogue that forces readers to confront their own assumptions about the self. The text challenges common intuitions about identity over time and explores whether the promise of eternal life is philosophically coherent. Published by Hackett in 1978, this remains a foundational text in analytic philosophy. Perry's rigorous analysis has influenced generations of thinkers and continues to be required reading in philosophy departments worldwide. The EPUB edition makes this classic accessible for digital reading, preserving the clarity of the original argument. Whether you are a student of metaphysics or simply curious about the nature of the self, this dialogue is essential reading.
