Challenging contemporary views on personal identity, Eric Olson presents a novel perspective that centers on biological continuity rather than psychological connections. He contends that personal identity is rooted in our existence as biological organisms, asserting that survival does not depend on psychological traits. By rejecting well-known thought experiments, Olson posits that an individual could continue to exist even if all psychological attributes were lost, as long as the organism itself remains alive.
