Process Ontology of Illness and Personal Identity
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.ef.355799Keywords:
Personal Identity, Biological Organism, Process Ontology, Relational Ontology, Health-IllnessAbstract
We aim to argue for a processual conception of ill-person-identity. To do so, we will review some of the main answers that philosophy has provided to the question of personal identity. We will also review certain proposals on how to conceive illness and ill-person-identity. Within a processual approach to ontology, we will focus on a non-dualistic processual-relational interpretation of biological organisms.
