THE PROBLEM OF INTERRELATION OF LANGUAGE AND PERSONAL IDENTITY

Abstract

The article considers the interrelation the problem of personal identity and language. Personal identity is defined as a sense of integrity, endurance of self over time. It is the sameness of a person at different stages of the life, as well as the sense of integrity and uniqueness of self. It is noted that in modern analytic philosophy there are three approaches to understanding the problem of personal identity: metaphysical or ontological, normative or ethical, and narrative. The paper emphasizes that language is the basis of personal identity, as it forms the rational unity of the agent, and it is an instrument for maintaining unity of self.
