thesinginglights's review against another edition
4.0
This is a great overview of the key issues in Personal Identity. Kind's writing is crisp, presenting the core arguments and ideas and in an easy-to-follow way. Having studied philosophy for half a decade, I can't vouch for this ease of reading for non-philosophically trained people but I imagine the level of understanding to be about the same: it's never too technical. What's also useful is the further reading. Because this works as more of an overview it never deeply explores the issues but the book does a great job of directing the reader to go further and explore more deeply. Recommended for anyone who wants to know more about PI.
