This book argues that questions concerning personal identity cannot be answered without resorting to the first-person perspective. When individuals adopt the first-person perspective they are interested in understanding their own lives, and, in this way, can be said to be "working on" their normative identity. Yet this understanding of the first-person perspective can only be properly understood with the aid of a non-reductionist theory of personal identity.
