Next Episode: #10 Skepticism, Morality, and the Philosophy of Disagreement | Izzy Possen

In this episode, I host Constantinos Stylianou, a Philosophy student at the University of Glasgow. We introduce the Ship of Theseus problem and analyze its relevance on object identity and personal identity. We have a discussion on the problem of personal identity; that is, what makes a person the person they are, examining different responses to the problem. Lastly, we touch on the corpse problem and discuss spatiotemporal continuity before birth and after death.
