Back to Personal Identity. Revisiting the Significance of Persons in Contemporary Metaphysics

Personal identity was one of the most discussed philosophical topics during the 1970s and 1990s. However, in the ensuing decades, the focus on the metaphysics of persons has waned despite significant advancements in related areas of analytic metaphysics.

This workshop aims to bring personal identity back to the forefront of philosophical debate in light of the progress made in fields such as grounding, modality, essentialism, theories of persistence, mereology, causal powers, and many more.
