商品簡介
Gunnarsson (Humboldt U., Berlin) has been working on this project for about a decade, and has published some of the material here and there, in English and German, along the way. Taking evidence from cases of multiple personality, he argues that every person is a kind of entity, of which more than one could exist in the same body. Taking evidence from cases of amnesia, he explores the classical philosophical question of personal identity over time. He considers these two aspects of the same conversation, but directs readers to specific chapters if they are only interested in one or other. His topics include empirical discernibility and fission, the various senses of personal identity, Morton Prince's seminal case study The Dissociation of a Personality, the coexistence thesis, the criterion of individuation, and multiple personality in literary discourses.
