Personal Identity
Properties

- Thesis Text:
- Properties are relevant to the topic of Personal Identity because it is the possession of incompatible properties at different times that is the explanation of change2. And, the key question in Personal Identity – other than what we are3 – is what changes we can undergo and still persist4.
- Consequently, the problem of Temporary Intrinsics5, which are intrinsic (ie. non-relational) properties that are “just had” by a persisting object at some time(s) but not others, is central to the explanation of change, and to the decision whether Endurantism6, Perdurantism7 or Exdurantism8 is the better account of persistence.
- This topic also relates to that of Universals9, which is what realists claim properties to be.
- Properties are usually said to be had by substances10, so seem to depend on a substance metaphysics. Presumably they can be had by processes in a process metaphysics11?
- Lynne Rudder Baker’s Constitution View12 makes a great play on her distinction between having properties derivatively and having them essentially; the constituted13 thing can have some properties derived from the constituting object, and others on its own account.
- So, says Baker14, a person’s weight is derived from the weight of her body while her status as “employed” is had essentially. Maybe another example is clearer, as it doesn’t involve the contentious claim that persons are separable from human animals: a statue has its value essentially but its weight derivatively. The value of the constituting matter will usually differ from – and be less than – that of the statue.
- Note that there’s a distinction between two contrasts – between Intrinsic and Extrinsic properties and those held Derivatively and Essentially. The two contrasts don’t map onto one another. Value may be essential, but it is not intrinsic – unlike mass – as it depends on evaluation by an art-world. Awkwardly, weight – rather than mass – is an extrinsic property, depending as it does on the local presence of a massive gravitating body.
Further Remarks:
- This topic strays into the area of Theology when the Ontological Argument15 claims (or seems to claim) that existence16 is a property. "Malcolm (Norman) - Anselm's Ontological Arguments" suggests that necessary existence is a better candidate for being a property.
- See also the Note on Forensic Properties17.
