The bodies of persons
Journal of Philosophy 71 (10):291-301 (1974)
Abstract
Much mischief concerning the concept of a human body is generated by the failure of philosophers to distinguish various important senses of the term 'body.' I discuss three of those senses and illustrate the issues they can generate by discussing the concept of a Lockean exchange of bodies as well as the brain-body switch.Author's Profile
