The volume comprises essays based on lectures given in the 22nd Darwin Lecture series on the subject of Identity. The aim of the lectures, and of the associated volumes, is to present views of the chosen topic from a variety of views presented by acknowledged authorities.
There Is A Spectrum Of Identities: from the mathematical, through cases where specific criteria matter, to the complex or intuitive cases where we can recognize identity but don''t know what the criteria should be. In a series of essays by senior figures in the sciences and humanities, this book examines what identity means across a number of academic disciplines. Topics range from mathematics, through the rules of recognition in biology and the law, to comprehending the individual in the visual, performing and literary arts, and ultimately to notions of the philosophy of existence. Using the theme of identity to make new interdisciplinary connections, the contributors offer interested readers a glimpse into their specialist subjects and suggest new ways for students and scholars to think about identity in relation to their own work.
