Plug Note¹

• Thesis Text:
  1. Parfit is famous for the dictum “identity is not what matters in survival”.
     1. I have a note – What Matters² on this, which I cover along with other general metaphysical matters in Chapter 4³.
     2. My view remains that there must be some confusion in this dictum, in that survival⁴ is the same as persistence⁵, and without identity there is no persistence, so identity is a necessary condition for survival and must, therefore, “matter”.
     3. There may well be situations wherein other things matter – either to others or to myself – more than my survival, but this is not the same thing.
     4. Also, Parfit espouses a psychological view⁶ of personal identity, and has many interesting things to say on whether – given the psychological difference between myself now and my future self – I should make provision for someone to whom I am only weakly psychologically connected⁷, and whether others should honour advance directives made by my former self⁸.
     5. My view on that remains that I’m stuck with my FPP⁹, which persists (though it may degrade) through all the changes in my psychology, and that prudence demands that I take this into account. It matters.
  2. In addition, Parfit has invented or refined a number of interesting TEs¹⁰ to do with Fission¹¹, Fusion¹² or Teletransportation¹³, which will receive attention in their due place in Chapter 10¹⁴.

  Further Remarks:
  1. Derek Parfit was₁₅ one of the most important contemporary philosophers to have engaged with the topic of Personal Identity.
  2. I read "Parfit (Derek) - Reasons and Persons" back in 2004/5, but took no notes, so need to read it again – especially the Third Part.
  3. However, I’ll have to leave the bulk of Parfit’s thought on Ethics to one side, except to note where it impacts on – and is a motivator for – Parfit’s theory of personal identity.
  4. In this regard, I note that I’ve sometimes used Parfit’s name – Derek Parfit – as a link from other pages on my website, rather than this Note. I intend my practice to be to link to this Note when issues of Personal Identity are under discussion, and his name otherwise₁₆.

In-Page Footnotes:

Footnote 15:

• Parfit died on 1st January 2017 to the general surprise and distress of the philosophical community.
• I have noted numerous eulogies and obituaries against Derek Parfit.

Footnote 16:

• Or a page may link to both this Note and to Parfit’s Name, which then links to his ‘Author’ page on my site.
• I’m in the process of regularising this practice.

Footnote 19:

• The PI abstract of "Carruthers (Peter) - Introducing Persons: Theories and Arguments in the Philosophy of Mind" notes that the book provides “a new defence of Parfitian views on personal identity”; presumably in this chapter.

Footnote 21:

• Johansson seems to have Parfit down as an Animalist, but …
• Parfit himself in "Bourget (David) & Chalmers (David) - The PhilPapers Surveys: What Do Philosophers Believe?", and everything else I’ve read, seems to deny this.

Footnote 23:

• See the above footnote on "Johansson (Jens) - What is Animalism?".
• Mackie says that Parfit – in “unpublished work” – claims that the neo-Lockean might be an animalist.

Footnote 24:

• Paul Broks: The discussion is – allegedly – on Parfit’s take on Teletransportation.

Footnote 25:

• Restrict a close reading to Part 3 (Personal Identity).

Footnote 27:

• I’ve ignored here those many papers on “what matters” that are not specifically related to the topic of Personal Identity.

Footnote 29:

• Looks like this is the first part of "Velleman (David) - Persons in Prospect (Revised)".

Footnote 30:

• And as background material, for this and related paradoxes, read:-
  → "Craig (William Lane) - McTaggart's Paradox and the Problem of Temporary Intrinsics",
  → "Kuhn (Steven) - Prisoner’s Dilemma",
  → "Lewis (David) - Prisoners' Dilemma is a Newcomb Problem",
  → "Nozick (Robert) - Newcomb's Problem and Two Principles of Choice",
  → "Wikipedia - Newcomb's Paradox"
