"[E]legant and provocative... There is no denying that the case he makes in this short but compelling book is a powerful one."--Barry Dainton, Times Literary Supplement "This book will appeal to Locke scholars and those interested in Locke's account of personal identity."--Choice "Clearly and vigorously argued, this is an important contribution both to the history of philosophy and to the contemporary philosophy of personal identity."--World Book Industry "This book is a pleasure to read.
