Questions from this subtopic

Each one with the model answer underneath.

  1. 1

    What does the concept of personal identity concern?

    Model answer

    What makes a person the same individual over time and what would need to continue for personal existence after death.

  2. 2

    How does the question of personal identity relate to the possibility of life after death?

    Model answer

    The possibility of continuing personal existence after death depends on whether personal identity can survive the death of the physical body.

  3. 3

    If dualism is true, why might the soul survive bodily death?

    Model answer

    Because the soul is a separate substance not dependent on the body for its existence, so it could potentially continue after the body dies.

  4. 4

    What implication does materialism have for personal survival after death?

    Model answer

    Personal survival appears impossible unless the body is resurrected or reconstituted, since there is no separate soul to survive.

  5. 5

    What is bodily resurrection?

    Model answer

    The belief that after death, persons will be raised with a physical body, either the same body restored or a transformed glorified body.

  6. 6

    What philosophical difficulty does the replica problem raise for bodily resurrection?

    Model answer

    It asks whether a resurrected body that is a perfect copy of the original person would genuinely be the same person or merely a duplicate.
