Questions on the Self: Locke, Kant, Materialism

  1. Why, according to Locke, should the self (or "person") be defined in terms of consciousness and memory rather than soul or substance?
  2. How does Locke's account allow for multiple personalities and reincarnation?
  3. Why does Hume deny that the self is anything other than an imaginary unity of perceptions?
  4. What does Kant mean by saying that the mind is the transcendental principle whereby experience is made intelligible?
  5. Why might eliminative materialism not be fully able to do away with folk-psychology descriptions of the self?
