Abstract
AbstractIn this paper, I outline and defend a new approach to personal‐identity—personal‐identity non‐cognitivism—and argue that it has several advantages over its cognitivist rivals. On this view utterances of personal‐identity sentences express a non‐cognitive attitude towards relevant person‐stages. The resulting view offers a pleasingly nuanced picture of what we are doing when we utter such sentences.
