I was also going to point out that often misunderstanding about Derek Parfit. He is also misunderstood similar to Soren Kierkegaard. The argument for self and against Emmanuel Kant are not anti-Super Natural.

It's not "anti-Super Natural" per se, but he is against a separately-existing entity.

Personal identity is much like "national" identity -- it's not a very profound connection, just a high degree of correlation and continuity.
