May he RIP.
The philosophy of personal identity is one of my favourite subjects in philosophy so his work came up a few times when studying that.
Worth reading up on some of his work if you like philosophy, alternatively there are a (few) videos on youtube mostly on moral philosophy IIRC.

- dhammer126 10y agoHere's a good starting point: https://www.blackwellpublishing.com/content/BPL_Images/Content_store/Sample_chapter/9780631234418/001.pdf https://www.blackwellpublishing.com/content/BPL_Images/Conte...

Human Beings (https://www.pdcnet.org/pdc/bvdb.nsf/purchase?openform&fp=jphil&id=jphil_1987_0084_0002_0059_0083 https://www.pdcnet.org/pdc/bvdb.nsf/purchase?openform&fp=jph... - behind a paywall, unfortunately) is a wonderful essay. And his book Surviving Death is a good example of creative contemporary philosophy that's actually fun to read.
