The Metaphysics of Resurrection in Seventeenth-Century Philosophy

More about the book

Focusing on the early modern period, the book explores the development of personal identity philosophy, challenging the notion that John Locke's consciousness-based theory marks its true beginning. It delves into earlier influences and ideas that shaped the discourse on personal identity, offering a fresh perspective on the evolution of thought surrounding selfhood and consciousness. Through a detailed examination of key figures and concepts, the work aims to enrich the understanding of how personal identity emerged as a significant philosophical inquiry.
