We have considered what identity means, and how much free will a person has. Using two philosophers we have read since week six (Plato on), define what personhood is, and address a person’s choices as an individual (free will) and how those choices play in creating/shaping that person’s identity. In defending your position, offer what you believe are the most principled arguments you can make. Think of the strongest objection you can come up with against your own position and respond to it.
