Contemporary work in the metaphysics of personal identity comprises a three-way stand-off \;between the body continuity theories\, psychological continuity theories\, and narrative continuity theories. Not only does each category of theories result in either an internal contradiction or a \;conclusion that is at odds with vernacular uses of the term &ldquo\;identity\,&rdquo\; I propose that all three \;categories of metaphysics approaches to identity face a unified objection: they presume a level of \;objectivity that belies the negotiation of our identities. In this talk\, I will outline the advantages \;of using phenomenology as an alternative to theorizing about personal identity. In the end\, I offer \;an account of personal identity that suggests that identity is a distributed phenomenon. If one&rsquo\;s \;identity is intelligible only in the context of the world\, then one&rsquo\;s circumstances are part of their identity.
