{"product_id":"conventionalism-about-personal-identity","title":"Conventionalism about Personal Identity","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWhat makes someone a person—and what underlies their persistence over time? \u003c\/i\u003ePhilosophical debates about personal identity have long been divided between psychological and physical approaches, each seeking to ground identity in different mental or biological facts. Yet, this familiar dichotomy has led to a theoretical impasse, with neither side securing decisive support.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn response, a growing body of work proposes an alternative framework, holding that facts about personal identity depend, at least in part, on our person-directed attitudes and practices. This view is commonly known as \u003ci\u003econventionalism about personal identity\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume presents the first comprehensive examination of this novel perspective. Bringing together some of the most influential philosophers in the field, these original essays explore conventionalism’s metaphysical and ethical dimensions, its relationship to neighbouring views, and the challenges it must address as it continues to gain prominence in the personal identity literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eConventionalism About Personal Identity \u003c\/i\u003eprovides a timely and accessible guide to this increasingly influential approach. It will be of particular interest to scholars and advanced students of philosophy, especially those working on both traditional and emerging theories of personal identity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55409054974296,"sku":"9781041083856","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781041083856_15b471b1-b89d-4373-85eb-f9b20e12e4b1.jpg?v=1768416330","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/conventionalism-about-personal-identity","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
