 Suggested Reading: There is a huge literature on personal identity, but everyone should read Williams (1973) and Parfit (1971; then 1984 part 3 (at least)). Work on people which is informed by the broader debate about persistence includes Lowe (1996), Olson (1997; 2007), Merricks (2001), Baker (2000), Hudson (2001), Noonan (2003b), Tappenden (2011), Langford (2016), Oyowe (2016). Lewis (1976) and Hudson (1999) provide perdurantist accounts of people, while Merricks (1999b) advocates endurantism, and Brueckner (2009) responds to Merricks; Patrone (2017) advocates stage theory. Haslanger (1992) argues that rational enquirers must endure; Rosenkrantz (2005) argues from self-knowledge to endurance; Prosser (2006) uses the nature of experience to explain away the appeal of endurantism in general; Parsons (2015) argues from the nature of experience to stage theory, see also Smith (2010); Brink (1997) discusses self-concern in a perdurantist framework; Broome (1991 chapter 11) discusses connections between theories of persistence and utilitarianism; Braddon-Mitchell and West (2001) argue that stages are primary. Other questions of ethics and self-concern are addressed by Olson (2010), Tognazzini (2010), Taylor (2013), Miller (2014, 2015), Mullins (2014), and Briggs and Nolan (2015). Duncan (2015) argues from the temporal extendedness of thought to the falsity of certain views about personal persistence. Dietz (2020) argues that temporal parts can be agents, whilst Hochstetter (2015) argues that stages cannot act. Rimmel (2018) argues that tensed belief creates difficulties for perdurantists. Hedden (2015) challenges many standard assumptions about the connection between personal persistence and rationality. Special concerns about coincidence involving people, including ‘too many thinkers’ are discussed by Noonan (1999a), Merricks (2003), Olson (1997a), Shoemaker (1999), Sider (2003b), Sutton (2014), Johnston (2016, 2017), Kovacs (2016, 2019), Kaiserman (2019), Eklund (2019), and Longenecker (2019). Burke (1997b), Ehring (1995), Heller (2000), Roache (2010), Wasserman (2005) and Demarest (2016) are also relevant.
