On the Anthropological View, we are human beings, with ways of life organized around a particular paradigm: We are creatures who typically develop in certain ways and are treated in certain ways not only with respect to our inborn biological and psychological features but also with respect to our socially shaped capacities (e.g., being empathic and sociable requires nurturing).  Among these capacities are the “forensic” capacities Locke and many others have focused on, having to do with responsibility and prudential concern.  But we are also born into families and societies whose members treat us in various ways, giving us names, dressing us, singing to us, taking walks with us, and so on.  These concerns all track the very same metaphysical unit that gradually becomes responsible and concerned for its own future.  We thus cannot say that the later responsible unit is a different thing, or even a different kind of thing, from the infant from which he or she developed.
