Reviews

""Trenton Merricks's latest book addresses what he takes to be an unfortunate fragmentation in the contemporary literature on personal identity between discussions of ethical issues about what matters in survival and metaphysical issues about the numerical identity and persistence of persons...[T]he book exhibits...analytical subtlety and logical rigour, sustained intricacy of argumentation, the frequent introduction of ingenious technical innovations, and a characteristic drive for philosophical systematisation..."" -- Roy W. Perret, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
