What relations constitute a person’s persistence over time? What do you think matters for survival as a person? Overlapping chains of psychological connectedness (i.e. memories, beliefs, goals, dispositions) (Locke 1689, Parfit 1984)? Relation R (Parfit 1984)? Or, sufficiently continuous physical realization of cognitive capacities (Unger 1990, Williams 1970)? What is at stake in the debate between the Psychological Continuity View and the Physical Continuity View? (i) Be specific, use examples, and argue for either the Psychological Continuity View or the Physical Continuity View, (ii) consider how someone might raise a compelling objection that targets a premise or inference in your argument (since the representatives of those views directly engage each other, I recommend that you consider a strong objection from one of the opposing authors); and (iii) offer a reasonable rejoinder to the objection by either modifying your position to accommodate the concern or countering the objection with an argument that neutralizes the force of the objection.
argue for either the Psychological Continuity View or the Physical Continuity View
