Abstract

I try to show how Whitehead might explain, within the context of his psychological physiology, certain of Merleau-Ponty's phenomenological evidences which are central for understanding personal identity.  I use these explicated evidences to show that, as against criticisms by Paul Weiss, Whitehead's work can yield a fruitful concept of personal identity based on behavioral habits, a sense of moral responsibility, and a legitimate sense of guilt.  To do this, I have interpreted Whitehead's nonsocial nexus as more social than he himself explicitly describes it, but I have also argued that this move is consistent with his general scheme and other Whiteheadian language about the body.  [Abstract from The Philosopher’s Index]
