A Dialogue on Personal Identity and
Immortality (ISBN 0-915144-53-0) is a book by the
philosopher John Perry.
It deals with
standard problems in the theory of personal identity in the form of a
dialogue between a terminally ill university professor, Gretchen
Weirob, and her two friends, Sam Miller and Dave Cohen. The views
represented include those of Bernard Williams, John Locke, and Derek Parfit. The format of associating
different philosophical positions with different characters in a
dialogue recalls David
Hume's Dialogues Concerning
Natural Religion.
