The identity of a person has to be analyzed in terms of three questions: What determines the entity of a person? What has to happen so that a person from yesterday is 'identical' to the person of today? What do we regard as identity in the sense of self-understanding and self-awareness? This book shows how in our everyday understanding the two 'identities' of human persons - persistence and personality - intertwine.

This book brings together the debate concerning personal identity (in metaphysics) and central topics in biomedical ethics (conception of birth and death; autonomy, living wills and paternalism). Based on a metaphysical account of personal identity in the sense of persistence and conditions for human beings, conceptions for beginning of life, and death are developed. Based on a biographical account of personality, normative questions concerning autonomy, euthanasia, living wills and medical paternalism are dealt with. By these means the book shows that “personal identity” has different meanings which have to be distinguished so that human persistence and personality can be used to deal with central questions in biomedical ethics.

Der Tod prägt die menschliche Lebensform und beschäftigt die Philosophie seit ihren Ursprüngen auf vielfältige Weise. Ein zentraler Diskussionsstrang geht von der Frage aus, ob der Tod für den Menschen ein Übel sein kann. Ist es rational, den Tod zu fürchten, oder geht er uns gar nichts an? Eine zweite Diskussion kreist um den Zusammenhang von Personsein und Wissen um den Tod. Muss ich mich angesichts meines Todes radikal vereinzeln, um mich überhaupt als Individuum erfassen zu können? Welche Rolle spielt die Erfahrung des Todes anderer Menschen hierbei? In beiden Debatten geht es um die Frage, wie wir uns zum Faktum der Endlichkeit unserer menschlichen Existenz verhalten sollten.

Personhood and personality are essential features of human persons. Following the debate concerning 'personal identity' the metaphysical and the practical dimension of our personal lifeform are made explicit.The search for criteria for personal identity on the one hand and for person-making characteristics on the other hand are at the center of the philosophy of person. In this book the various dimensions of the personal lifeform of human beings which have been debated in analytical philosophy are examined. Thereby a new systematic conception is unfolded in which the metaphysical and the practical aspects of our personal lifeform are made explicit as a complex unity.
