Abstract
There are, at least, three fundamental
dimensions in what we all are: a physical,
a mental and a social dimension. In this
paper I will focus in how, in the history
of the debate about personal identity, different neo-Lockean theories have tried
to account for these dimensions. The
main goal will be to show that the only
neo-Lockean theory that can account for
these dimensions is what I call the New
Narrative Approach, that establishes a
distinction between three entities that
we are: human beings, selves, and persons.
