Reactions & Debate I: On Schechtman's Person Life View
Original language description
In a recent book, Marya Schechtman argues that people are practical units whose identity is deeply interconnected with our various person-related practical concerns. The Person Life View she develops responds to a number of claims currently accepted by many scholars in the personal identity debate, including the claim that personal identity does not matter in the grounding of our person-related practical concerns, and the claim that individual practical concerns are justified by a number of different relations. Schechtman argues that personal identity does matter and that it grounds all our person-related practical concerns. I will argue that these conclusions are enabled by a series of redefinitions of established concepts made by Schechtman. I will make these redefinitions explicit. I will further argue that the Person Life View has implausible consequences both in personal ontology and in normative guidance.
