Endurantism and the psychological approach to personal identity

Abstract

This paper considers the question whether a psychological approach to personal identity can be formulated within an endurantist, as opposed to four-dimensionalist, framework. Trenton Merricks has argued that this cannot be done. I argue to the contrary: a perfectly coherent endurantist version of the psychological approach can indeed be formulated. © 2009 Stiftelsen Theoria Published by Blackwell Publishing Ltd.
