Book Summary
What makes a biological entity an individual? Jack Wilson shows that past
philosophers have failed to explicate the conditions an entity must satisfy to
be a living individual. He explores the reason for this failure and explains why
we should limit ourselves to examples involving real organisms rather than
thought experiments. This book explores and resolves paradoxes that arise when
one applies past notions of individuality to biological examples beyond the
conventional range, and presents a new analysis of identity and persistence.
