Theories of personal identity are unavoidably based, in part, on intuitions about what changes we could and could not survive. But discovering what our intuitions really are and understanding what they show are difficult. The essays in this brilliant collection constitute the best work to date on these important issues. * Jeff McMahan, Sekyra and White’s Professor of Moral Philosophy, University of Oxford, UK * The last decade has seen an explosion of work on how people think about the self. Tobia’s outstanding collection provides an ideal introduction to the state-of-the-art and an impressive set of articles by leaders in the field. It will be essential reading for anyone working on the nature of self and personal identity. * Shaun Nichols, Professor of Philosophy, Cornell University, USA *
