The philosophical question of a person“s identity has not been well resolved. Contrary to the term“s use in everyday life, and even within philosophy, identity is not a unified phenomenon. Rather, the identity of an individual has to be analysed by answering the following questions:
    What determines the entity of an individual? What has to happen so that an individual from yesterday is “;identical“ to the individual of today? What do we regard as identity in the sense of self-understanding and self-awareness?
This book shows how in our everyday life the two “;identities“ of human individuals - persistence and personality - intertwine.

Review:
"Als sehr positiv hervorzuheben ist neben einer um Klarheit bem hten [...]Sprache, die immer wieder betonte N he zur lebensweltlichen Intuition, wodurch sich Quantes Buch von der Abstraktheit und Lebensferne analytischer Philosophie wohltuend abhebt."Hans-Ulrich Lessing in: Zeitschrift f r die Didaktik der Philosophie 4/2009 "This book is a welcome exception within the vast literature on the notions of person and personal identity. Quante offers a clear way of distinguishing and answering various questions that are all too often blurred. The book is thus valuable to readers seeking an introduction to these issues, but it also provides a helpful framework to experts on the topic."Logi Gunnarsson in: Medicine, Health Care and Philosophy 3/2008 "[...] kluges Buch!"Michael Pawlik in: Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung 18.02.2008 " Person ist ein anspruchsvoller Theorieentwurf, der sich kenntnisreich und teilweise h chst subtil mit historischen und neuesten Positionen der Debatte auseinandersetzt."Jan-Hendrik Heinrichs in: Philosophischer Literaturanzeiger 10-12/2007
