Causality

• Thesis Text:
  1. Causality (or Causation) is important in determining which changes² are identity-preserving and which aren’t. There has – it is said – to be the right kind of causal connection between A and B for A=B. This is sometimes given as an objection to Teletransportation³ TEs⁴ – the causal connection between the pre- and post-teletransportation individuals isn’t of the right kind for identity-preservation.
  2. Similar objections are sometimes raised in response to tinkering with organisms – for instance siliconisation⁵, brain transplants⁶ and such like. The causal connection between successive states of the supposed same organism isn’t sufficient to preserve identity.
  3. Also, memories⁷ sometimes feature. Fiddling with or implanting memories doesn’t have the right causal connection between the events they are supposed to be of – on the one hand – and me – on the other – to make them my memories, even though they might seem so to me.
  4. In all cases, we need to consider just what it is that preserving the right sort of causality effects. An important idea in this regard is internal change versus externally-imposed change, and why some externally-imposed changes preserve the individual, while others don’t. See in particular "Olson (Eric) - Immanent Causation and Life After Death".
