The Partially Examined Life Philosophy Podcast - Ein Podcast von Mark Linsenmayer, Wes Alwan, Seth Paskin, Dylan Casey

More on Parfit's Reasons and Persons (1984), ch. 10-13. In this preview, we consider how Parfit deals with Bernard Williams' materialist thought experiment to show that the whole concept of personal identity doesn't make sense. Also, split brains!
