| Résumé: | We present an original emergent individuals view of human persons, on which persons are substantial biological unities that exemplify metaphysically emergent mental states. We argue that this view allows for a coherent model of identity-preserving resurrection from the dead consistent with orthodox Christian doctrine, one that improves upon alternatives accounts recently proposed by a number of authors. Our model is a variant of the falling elevator model advanced by Dean Zimmerman that, unlike Zimmermans, does not require a closest continuer account of personal identity. We end by raising some remaining theological concerns. |
