Yоur Quоtаtiоn Bаnk:“Our identity over time just involves (а) Relation R - Psychological connectedness and/or psychological continuity - with the right kind of cause, provided (b) that this relation does not take a ‘branching’ form, holding between one person and two different future people.”Parfit, Reasons and Persons, p.216Parfit is arguing in the branch line case that personal identity is not physical.“A Reductionist can admit that, in this sense, a person is what has these experiences, or the subject of experiences.”Parfit, Reasons and Persons, p.223Parfit explains that Reductionists do not think that the person experiencing something is a separate being from mind and body."A person is an entity that has a brain and body, and has particular thoughts, desires and so on.”Parfit, Reasons and Persons, p.211This is the Reductionist view on a person as a distinct entity.“If personal identity is what matters, I should regard my prospect here as being nearly as bad as ordinary death. But if what matters is Relation R, with any cause, I should regard this way of dying as being about as good as ordinary survival.”Parfit, Reasons and Persons, p.215Parfit is explaining the two different views on the branch-line case.“The Soul is also said to be the subject of mental states (it is your soul, rather than your body, that experiences thoughts, feelings, and so on.)”Huemer, Knowledge, Reality, and Value, p.205Huemer is explaining people's general idea of what the Soul is.“Identity is a one-to-one relation: Every being is identical with exactly one being; no one is ever identical with two beings.”Huemer, Knowledge, Reality, and Value, p.207This is the first of Humer's four principles about identity.“Both copies satisfy the criterion for being you, so they are both you. But this cannot be: it violates the basic definition for numerical identity (which, again, is the what we are interested in.)”Huemer, Knowledge, Reality, and Value, p.202Huemer is explaining the issue with the “perfect clone” problem.“Uddyotakara next considers a new Buddhist strategy: when we say the self does not exist, by “self” we only mean something you imagine to exist.”Siderits, Buddhism as Philosophy, p.142The Buddhist explanation to the doctrine of no self.“If it were said that the self is imaginatively projected onto the body, as Santa Claus is projected onto the person who puts the presents under the tree, then there would have to be a self to be projected into the body.”Siderits, Buddhism as Philosophy, p.143-144Siderits further explains that it’s believed that self is just a thing imagined and put onto a body.
