Book Description
In this book, which revises and greatly expands his classic work Sameness and Substance (Blackwell, 1980), David Wiggins examines the logic of identity, the ideas of substance and change, essence, predication and sortal predication, personhood, and personal memory. A substantial new final chapter explores the question of personal identity, arguing that such identity is inseparable from normative requirements that flow from personal memory. This important book will appeal to a wide range of readers in metaphysics, philosophical logic, and analytic philosophy.
