Problem: The Nature of Personal Identity:
"What Makes You You?" This topic is about what philosophers refer to as "personal identity". We all believe that we persist through time, despite the fact that our properties change a lot over the course of our lives. So, this seems to raise the obvious question: what is it that "preserves our identity" across time? What is it that is responsible for me being identical to that newborn baby that came into existence so many years ago?
