Why choose this project topic?
The problem of how memory-based accounts of identity affect responsibility judgments offers a clear debate with competing reasons and possible objections. A limited set of primary readings and carefully explained cases helps you develop an independent argument rather than simply summarising philosophers.
Which conclusions about how memory-based accounts of identity affect responsibility judgments are justified by critical examination of philosophical texts on personal identity and explicitly fictional memory-loss cases?
Choose the main philosophical interlocutors and a small set of cases, then narrow the argument about how memory-based accounts of identity affect responsibility judgments.
Proposed project objectives
- 01Clarify the key concepts involved in how memory-based accounts of identity affect responsibility judgments.
- 02Reconstruct the competing arguments in philosophical texts on personal identity and explicitly fictional memory-loss cases.
- 03Compare psychological continuity, bodily continuity and narrative accounts while tracing their ethical implications.
A suggested research approach
Select accessible editions of philosophical texts on personal identity and explicitly fictional memory-loss cases and define the central terms before defending a position. Compare psychological continuity, bodily continuity and narrative accounts while tracing their ethical implications. Make premises explicit, address a strong objection to the preferred account, and distinguish hypothetical illustrations from factual evidence.
What you will need
- Lawful access to philosophical texts on personal identity and explicitly fictional memory-loss cases
- An argument map addressing how memory-based accounts of identity affect responsibility judgments
- A supervisor-agreed philosophical framework and complete citation records
Keep your project scope clear
Thought experiments must not be used to diagnose or stigmatise people living with memory disorders.
