The Survival of the Self

by Robin Harwood

Book Overview

First published in 1998, this volume gives an account of personal identity derived from the Butler-Reid position, arguing that from the first person point of view one necessary condition of personal identity is the survival of the Self. Robin Harwood's claim is that a normal human person is a combination of a Self, a mind and a body, locating the issue of personal identity as stemming from the nature of persons as compound entities.
