The question of what makes you ‘you’ has been a central theme in philosophical thought since ancient times. In this talk, Professor Richard Swinburne FBA takes us through the debates on personal identity, which were first had between Plato and Aristotle in the Western tradition. Through questioning the strength of the physicalist view, which says our personal identity is based on physical factors, he aims to demonstrate that maybe it is time to reconsider Plato’s belief in souls in the modern world.
