Personal Identity

Psychological Continuity

(Text as at 06/07/2023 00:43:12)

Plug Note¹

• Thesis Text:
  1. Like any persisting thing, the persistence² of a psychology requires continuity to an appropriate degree of the entity supposedly persisting: hence ‘psychological continuity’.
  2. I’m not quite sure what ‘a psychology’ is supposed to be, but it is supposedly constitutive of personal identity for those accepting the Psychological View³
  3. Popularly, we say that an individual is ‘not the same person’ as they were before if their character or aims differ too much from that former state. Hence, such characteristics would seem to be constitutive of a psychology.
  4. As noted, it is usual for someone’s character to develop gradually over time, often in a positive sense, though there may be Dorian Grey like declensions. However, there can also be sudden changes, as when someone has a religious or political conversion experience, though – even there – there is continuity of more general psychological factors.
  5. We are comfortable with gradual changes – new memories are added and lost gradually, and tastes stay fairly constant; knowledge is acquired gradually. But, over time, these gradual changes accumulate to the degree that one might not recognise the child in the adult, say. But usually, we allow that such gradual changes are identity-preserving, even though psychological connectedness⁴ is to some degree lost.
  6. All this is associated with one’s First Person Perspective⁵, one’s window on the world from which standpoint one anticipates the future, enjoys the present, and remembers the past.

  Further Remarks:
  1. Psychological continuity (and connectedness⁶) is central to personal identity for those who adopt the Psychological View⁷. However, it is said by some animalists⁸ - Eric Olson in particular – to be irrelevant to our survival⁹, given that we are¹⁰ Human Animals¹¹.
  2. Following on from discussions on survival¹², maybe the way to put things is that without psychological continuity I might survive, but not with what matters¹³ to me in survival.
  3. If “Person¹⁴” is a phase sortal¹⁵ of “Human Animal¹⁶”, can there be sequential but different persons within the same animal (as Lewis¹⁷ suggests, though not from the perspective of animalism¹⁸, in his “Methuselah¹⁹” case) or can there be different and encapsulated First Person Perspectives²⁰ (either synchronically – as in MPD²¹ – or diachronically) within the same animal?
  4. “Person” may indeed come apart from “animal”, but even then, the person cannot “float free” of the animal, but supervenes²² upon it. See the CV²³ for this.
  5. This topic is related to others in this general area (in addition to those already noted):-
     → Psychology²⁴
     → Psychological Criterion²⁵
     → Psychopathology²⁶
  6. I also distinguish between backward and forward psychological continuity²⁷. The former – traditionally involving memory²⁸ and psychological traits – is the usual focus, but it is not necessarily identity-preserving even for those espousing the PV²⁹, on account of reduplication objections³⁰. The same may be true of fission³¹ of the FPP³², but this is more difficult to imagine.
