I 207
Person/body/Simons: e.g. operation: the person does not exist during the operation. The operation is carried out on the body, e.g. after amnesia + unlimited capacity to learn: we have a new person in the old body (Simons pro Locke).
On the other hand: person:
a) to have rights,
b ) substrate of change, controlled by psychological laws.
Then the definition of a person is: the capacity to characteristic processes, not the current practice of capacity. The person remains the person when he/she sleeps.
>Continuants, >Body, >Human.
I 211
Person dies/body remains.
Coincidence: nevertheless the person has no parts that the body does not have, in particular no intangible parts.
>Parts.
