Description

Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject Philosophy - Philosophy of the 20th century, grade: 1.3, Otto-von-Guericke-University Magdeburg, course: Der Begriff der Person als Thema der Theoretischen und der Praktischen Philosophie, language: English, abstract: There is not too much agreement in philosophy about what a person is, how and when persons do persist over time or who a person is. And as it is usually the case when philosophical problems are discussed but not resolved, new questions and problems arise in the course of the debate and the argument shifts away from its starting point. Such a shift gave rise to the problem that is at the heart of my thesis. We consider us to be persons and humans to be biological organisms. How do those two facts relate to each other and what can be inferred from them?
