Teaching & Learning Guide for: Shaftesbury on Persons, Personal Identity and Character Development
Year: 2020
Type: article
Abstract: Chapter 11 focuses on Shaftesbury's and Hume's responses to Locke's account of persons and personal identity.Both philosophers generally share Locke's metaphysically agnostic views, but disagree with Locke on moral and religious grounds.Contrasting their moral and religious views brings to light how their different moral and religious views shape their thinking about persons and personal identity and why Shaftesbury and Hume develop views that differ from Locke's position.
