73An impersonal theory of personal identityPhilosophical Studies 26 (5-6). 1974.In this paper, I defend the view that the identity of indiscernibles could serve as an adequate basis for a general theory of identity.

In light of both the original and modified theory, I offer a new resolution of some of the classical and contemporary problems of personal identity
