Constitution of Selves
An amnesia victim asking Who am I? Marya Schechtman takes issue with analytic philosophy's emphasis on the first sort of question to the exclusion of the second. means something different from a confused adolescent asking the same question.
What she calls the reidentification question is taken to be the real metaphysical question of personal identity, whereas questions about beliefs or values and the actions they prompt, the characterization question, are often presented as merely metaphorical. The problem of personal identity, she suggests, is usually understood to be a question about historical life. Failure to recognize the philosophical importance of both these questions, Schechtman argues, has undermined analytic philosophy's attempts at offering a satisfying account of personal identity.
Considerations related to the characterization question creep unrecognized into discussions
