Experimental Philosophy of Identity and the Self
The book "Experimental Philosophy of Identity and the Self" explores the concept of the self from a philosophical perspective, addressing questions such as what makes us the same person as our childhood and future selves, and whether certain changes can transform us into a different person. It also examines how our everyday moral practices may presuppose a false account of who we are. The book includes chapters that survey recent empirical work and foster dialogue between experimental and traditional philosophical approaches to identity. It highlights the value and implications of empirical work on personal identity, with novel experiments and applications to practical concerns like law, immigration, bioethics, and politics.
