 Finally, it can be objected that necessarily, any person just is a certain entity, and that even if this is false, still, it seems that necessarily persons and entities can’t be separated, so that if anything is one person it must be one entity as well (436). In reply, Pickup denies that such claims are true, and suggests that conceptually, it seems that one may count persons and beings differently, even in merely human cases like the fictional Jekyll and Hyde, which he takes to be an instance of one entity that is two persons (436, 420). Pickup also argues that it is a virtue of this account that it doesn’t specify what it takes to be a person (436).
