Crossing the bridge: The first-person and time [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
Personal identity theory has become increasingly sensitive to the im- portance of the first-person perspective. However, certain ways of speaking about that perspective do not allow the full temporal aspects of first-person perspec- tives on the self to come into view. In this paper I consider two recent phenom- enologically-informed discussions of personal identity that end up yielding metaphysically divergent views of the self: those of Barry Dainton and Galen Strawson. I argue that when we take a properly temporally indexical view of the first-person perspective, and thereby resist the assumption that phenomenally- figured and theoretically-figured identity claims must have a common object, the metaphysically awkward accommodations each of these authors is compelled to make cease to be necessary.
