In "A Dialogue on Personal Identity and Immortality" John Perry broadcasts the conversations between a philosopher and her two friends a few nights before she died. We then come to how the dying philosopher is trying to get everyone to convince him that he will survive even after the death of his body. In this John Perry argues that there are three ways of deliberating personal identity: corporeal identity, psychological continuity and immaterial soul. The essay then describes the different types of identities and how they can use them to prove to the dying philosopher that he can still remain alive. I will argue that the only way we can distinguish personal identity is through psychological continuity and how we can determine a person based on their memories and experiences. From this we can move on to discussing some of the terms that will be used in this article. For the purposes of this article I will define personality, psychological continuity, and personal identity. Personality is the set of characteristics or qualities that form the distinctive character of an individual. It means that personality is what we can use to help define a person as themselves. Another term that will be widely used is psychological continuity. Psychological continuity is when a person's psychological states are continuous, such as their memories, experience, and personality. Finally, personal identity is how a person thinks or defines themselves in this world. To demonstrate that the best explanation of identity is psychological continuity, I present the following argument: P1. The best explanation of personal identity is psychological continuity, corporeal identity or immaterial soul.P2. The best account of personal identity is no body...... middle of paper ......rk and focus on the birds. In general these two people might have similar experiences but they would look at them differently and the way they see their experience differently is how we can tell that they are different people. In this essay I have demonstrated that we can determine personal identity solely based on psychological continuity. During the dialogue John Perry states that there are only three ways we can tell a person who they are. These three ideas: being a person is his body, a person has a continuation of memory, or a person is his immaterial soul. Throughout this essay we have discussed that although corporeal identity and immaterial souls are good suggestions for determining personal identity, they are actually not logical theories. I have argued that we can distinguish personal identity from psychological continuity.
