On episode 125, we welcome
philosopher Jessica Gordon-Roth to discuss John Locke and ‘The
Prince and the Cobbler’ thought experiment, what makes up someone’s
identity and if it’s more than just a bundle of memories, if people
remain the same as they age, Locke’s notion of consciousness and
its distinction from the body, applying Locke’s notion of
personhood to transgender people to explain why inner states may
differ from outer appearances, and the difference between
consciousness and a soul and why having the latter doesn’t
necessarily indicate “personal persistence.”
Jessica Gordon-Roth is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at the
University of Minnesota. Her area of specialization is in the
history of early modern philosophy, with a focus on Locke and
feminist history of philosophy. Jessica is also one of contributing
authors prominently featured in Helen De Cruz’s new book,
“Philosophy Illustrated: Forty-two Thought Experiments To Broaden
Your Mind.” | Jessica
