CFP: Personal Identity, Belgrade Philosophical Annual
Submission deadline: June 30, 2022
Topic areas
Details
The philosophical debate about the nature of personal identity is far from being settled. The questions such as “What am I?” and “How do we persist over time?” have significant theoretical and practical implications for many fields of research. We are inviting submissions for an issue of BPA devoted to “Personal identity”. The issue focuses primarily on the fundamental questions of the persistence of a person over time, but argumentative discussions of the most popular criteria of personal identity, as well as elaborated responses to the recent philosophical arguments on this subject matter are also welcome. The journal issue will address:
•What is the constitutive criterion of diachronic personal identity?
•The “complex” and “simple” views about the nature of personal identity
•The implication of mind-uploading for the problem of personal identity
•Personal identity and bodily death
•What matters in our persistence over time?
•Identity of consciousness
•The role of memory and quasi-memory in personal identity
•Am I a human animal?
