Description
Mortal Objects examines one of philosophy’s most enduring puzzles: what makes an object the same object over time, and how does this apply to living beings facing mortality? Steven Luper provides a comprehensive analysis of identity persistence, drawing on metaphysical theory and practical considerations about human existence.
The book investigates whether personal identity depends on physical continuity, psychological connection, or some other criterion. Luper explores how these questions become especially pressing when considering life and death—what persists when a person dies? Through careful argumentation and clear exposition, the work engages with classic philosophical problems while offering fresh perspectives on identity, change, and mortality.
Essential reading for philosophers, students of metaphysics, and anyone interested in fundamental questions about existence and what it means to remain oneself through time.
