ABSTRACT
For personality does not itself at once cease because its activity is for a time interrupted. (A365)
In this chapter I argue that for Kant a person is an ongoing capacity for being an identical intellect accompanying inner attending, which exists even when not active. Put in other terms, a person is an ongoing capacity for being an abiding intellectual grasp of an inner point of view belonging to that grasp. In still other terms a person is an ongoing capacity to be an identical subject (an ‘I think’) of an inner history. In this view the identity of a person is neither the identity of an entity nor a mere series of states connected by psychological relations.
