This is a small diversion from my getting to grips with some of the reading I will need to do during this course, my little bit of procrastination - is this the one time I will have challenged myself too far? We shall see...
I must be mad! At my age, trying to work out who I am, whether I deserve to be called a person, whether I am the same 'person' I was when I resided in my mother's womb, indeed, will I still be the same person I am today in ten year's time. If I survive death (an oxymoron) will I still be me? What is the difference between I and me? Is there a difference?

Issues of Personhood and Personal Identity form the first part of the course. And what a minefield! I never would have believed that such simple concepts could hold such a variety of meanings.
