i need help writing and answering these questions each have to be about 2/3 page
- What are the personality and body views of personal identity? The personality view faces a problem in the duplication case, while the body view faces a problem in the fission (brain bisection) case. Explain either the duplication or the fission case (since the problems are similar, you can explain one of them), explain why they are a problem for the respective view of personal identity, and explain the four possible responses (as well as their relative merits) one could give to the case. Make sure to explain the “No Branching” rule and explain its relevance to the issue.
2. According to the personality view, death occurs when? Describe a case on which the body view and the personality view would disagree about when a person dies. An apparent problem for the personality view occurs when a person sleeps. Why? There is a simple answer to this problem, but it generates two additional problems. What is the simple answer, what are the two additional problems, and what solutions does Kagan offer to these two problems?
3. Explain Epicurus’ puzzle or argument about death. Your explanation should include a discussion of the Existence Requirement and the claim that All Facts Are Dated. Explain what Kagan says about the argument.
