Recenzii
Staying Alive is a beautifully constructive and often subtly argued book. It treats contrary views with great courtesy, and shows a powerful and bold philosophical mind.
A brief review cannot do justice to all the invariably subtle, sophisticated, and fascinating arguments contained in this very fine bookSchechtman's writing style is exceptionally clear, analytic, and yet, as we have all come to appreciate in her prose, tender. Staying Alive is a seminal work, enhancing the debate on personhood and personal identity in an important way. It is highly recommended to experts and students alike, even to those who are not constantly wondering what it takes to stay alive.
How at this late date in the discussion within contemporary analytic philosophy of personhood and personal identity can one make a significant new contribution to our understanding of both? . . . In this valuable addition to the literature . . . Marya Schechtman may have found a way. It is by moving the analytic debate in a more empirical direction. This is by no means all she does in this important new book.
Schechtman's book is enjoyable to read, and highly original and interesting. It deserves to be investigated very carefully.
