To grasp the concept of personal identity, one has to address the problems it arises. “Who am I?”, “Personhood”, “Persistence”, “Evidence”,“Population”, “What am I?”, and “What matters in identity” are the questions that need to be faced in order to create a more elevated understanding of self ().

Claim that consciousness is inseparable from thinking.”― means the continuation of consciousness. In the end, personal identity is not necessarily the same “man”, but it can only exist by relying on consciousness
