Personal Identity

Human Animals

Plug Note¹

• Thesis Text:
  1. I haven’t anything to say currently here other than what is covered in a bunch of related topics.
  2. However, as this is what I think answers the question What Are We?², and is the plural of the title of "Olson (Eric) - The Human Animal - Personal Identity Without Psychology", it seems sensible to create this topic as one onto which detailed discussion may eventually be hived off.
  3. The main point – often re-iterated – is that we are Animals³, and while we are animals of a special kind⁴, there is no ontological⁵ difference – other than of degree – between our species⁶ and other animals.
  4. I note further that Baker⁷ might agree with this as far as it goes, but she thinks there is a major ontological difference when the human animal becomes a person⁸. I deny this, as will most animalists⁹.

• ---

  Further Remarks:
  1. I’d resisted having a Note on this topic, as I doubt there’s anything to say on it over and above what is covered under the Notes:-
     • Animalism¹⁰
     • Animals¹¹
     • Human Beings¹²
     • Human Persons¹³
     • Homo Sapiens¹⁴
     • etc.
