In this volume, Geoffrey Madell develops a revised account of the self, making a compelling case for why the "simple" or "anti-criterial" view of personal identity warrants a robust defense. Madell critiques recent discussions of the self for focusing on features which are common to all selves, and which therefore fail to capture the uniqueness of each self. In establishing his own view of personal identity, Madell proposes (a) that there is always a gap between ‘A is f and g’ and ‘I am f and g’; (b), that a complete description of the world offered without recourse to indexicals will fail to account for the contingent truth that I am one of the persons described; and (c), that an account of conscious perspectives on the world must take into account what it means for an apparently arbitrary one of these perspectives to be mine. Engaging with contemporary positions on the first person, embodiment, psychological continuity, and other ongoing arguments, Madell contends that there can be no such thing as a criterion of personal identity through time, that no bodily or psychological continuity approach to the issue can succeed, and that personal identity through time must be absolute, not a matter of degree. Madell’s view that the nature of the self is substantively different from that of objects in the world will generate significant discussion and debate among philosophers of mind.

Andrea Bottani Massimiliano Carrara Pierdaniele Giaretta What do we do when we do metaphysics? The aim of this introduction is to give a provisional answer to this question, and then to explain the subtitle of the volume. It is easy to observe that when we do meta physics we engage in a linguistic activity, mainly consisting of uttering declarative sentences that are not very clear to most people. That is true, but, of course, it is not very informative. What do we speak of when we do metaphysics? A traditional answer could be: we speak of what things really are, so suggesting that things can appear in a way that is different from the way they really are. So understood, meta physics is about the sense, or the senses, of "real being". A question that immediately arises is whether the sense of being is unique or is different for different types of things. Another question is whether it is possible that something could appear to be, but really not be. Modem analytic metaphysicians usually answer that the sense of being is unique, while acknowledging that there are different kinds of things, and that to say that something could appear to be but really not be is a plain contradiction, unless what is understood is that it could appear to us that there is something having such and such features, but viii Individuals, Essence, and Identity really there is no such a thing.

This book is a study of John Locke's metaphysics of organisms and persons, with particular emphasis on his theory of identity through time and his conventionalism with respect to kinds and essences. After presenting three arguments for thinking that the organisms and persons in Locke's ontology have both spatial and temporal extent, the author argues that on a four-dimensional ontology there is no contradiction between Locke's theory of identity and his rejection of essentialism.

Who or what, is ruling your life! Recognize that the last statement was not a question, it is a statement of fact. Who or what, is ruling your life! Think about that for a moment. When you are faced with making a decision, can you identify what influences your final act of choosing one alternative or another? Ruling or governing your own life requires having a standard - code to live by - or guide that supports fulfilling "something". Your standard provides you the ability to keep foreign thoughts, desires, and pursuits from taking over your life. The "something" - that rules your life - needs to be substantial, motivating, worthwhile in and of itself, and able to demand your time, energy, and effort. Where are you with that? Do you currently live by a standard that supports unwanted outcomes such as poor relationships? Are you being ruled by negative emotions, protecting your self-esteem in an unhealthy way, poverty of spirit, or your attempt to fill a void through things you know are not sustainable? What is that substantial something that is able to rule your life and support sustainable success and fulfillment? It is time to rule your existence, govern your actions, and know your essence. You must know who and what you are according to your place in existence. To receive the gifts that are your inheritance, you must know what you are striving to activate. Your essence is the source of existence, it is an aspect of the grand architect of the universe. You are the source of existence but on your human level, for all things are the all expanding existence. Let that sink in. Let that wrestle with your past learning. Now, recognize intellectually that outside of the all expanding existence, it does not exist. Your conscious and conscience serves a purpose, and that purpose is substantial to your existence. For instance, in existence you can create and creating naturally serves the purpose of growing. You may create a process to get more customers. The purpose served is to grow a system that attracts more customers. Creating the process does not automatically lead to growing more relationships with your product or service. You would need to identify the rules of existence that support building relationships with other humans for the purpose of marriage, selling, friendship, or better community engagement. You must know your essence and the rules that govern success, better performance, and better living. Are you ready for sustainable success in your life?

Missing from materialistic, Western philosophy is the intrinsic identity and qualitative dimension of existence. The significance of qualities is denied because they do not possess physical representation. They are excluded from our assessment of life through lack of tangible evidence. Qualities are known to exist but their occurrence is not considered existentially pertinent. Yet, every phenomenal appearance possess a qualitative existence as well as material evidence. The qualitative distinction of a phenomenon is of enormous significance because it reveals the authentic identity as opposed to the merely superficial appearance of the physical periphery.

This monograph is a critical and historical account of Aristotelian essentialism and modal logic. In Chapter One, ancient and contemporary interpretations and claims of inconsistency in Aristotle’s modal syllogistic are examined. A more consistent model is developed through attention to Aristotle’s comments on negation. In Chapter Two, proofs for each of the mixed apodictic syllogisms are analyzed and diagrammed. Chapter Three explores how Aristotle’s modal metaphysics fits within the context of the Posterior Analytics. Chapter Four contrasts Aristotelian modal logic to contemporary modal metaphysics and argues for ways in which a return to Aristotle may spark intriguing thought in contemporary discussions of the philosophy of science and in debate over the metaphysics of identity.
