On merging the topic: The problem of diachronic Personal identity is a distinct issue, in my opinion there is enough things to be said about it for it to deserve its own article. Orgone 14:11, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
There is a discussion of the topic Here with a view to expanding the article. Orgone 19:08, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
in fiction there are instanes of being melding their mind and removing the distinction between their identities
That is true Taracka, much of the philosophical dicussion in this area revolves around just such thought experiments, questions of fission (brain or mind splitting) and fusion (mind or brain combining) and change over time. I believe its reading lots of science fiction from an early age which lead to me studying philosophy!

I think the opening paragraph needs to be made more clearer. --Awenty 19:16, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Structured additions recommended: An overview of diachronic accounts (e.g. Parfit, Perry). A comprehensive outline of synchroninc accounts (e.g. the narrative views of Schechtman, Lindemann, etc.; desire-endorsement views such as Frankfurt's). Links to 'Identity Politics' sort of entries.
