Document Summary
Without memory you aren"t the same person": if you don"t remember what you did 3 years ago then you aren"t the same person from three years ago, can"t be held accountable. With or without a soul that is accountable across time. Punishment is tied to personhood: personhood is tied to conscience. A drunkard may not be conscience to a crime: locke states that the court can still justly punish you. We can"t prove you honestly don"t remember it". Unsure how god will take this on judgment day. A human"s identity is sameness of organizational structure. A person"s identity is a rst person conscience experience. Only one kind of identity: locke had 3, reid"s identity is most similar to substance identity. If you have pain two days in a row, they are two different pains: you lose consciousness when you go to sleep. A part of a person is absurd.
