John Locke argues without difficulty that follows conceiving the same exact person at their resurrection, despite the differences the person’s previous body had whether it is a matter of make or parts, the very same consciousness goes along with the soul that occupies it. Putting the soul aside, the fact that there is a body swap so-to-speak, would “scarce to any one” except himself which makes the soul the man (383 Pojman Vaughn)
John Locke illustrates and combines the whole consciousness and transfer of a soul onto any other body. He uses the prince and the cobbler to exemplify and define how souls and consciousness tie into personal identity and how it defines the self. According to John Locke, a person is “fixed” by being aware of the past.
