Locke objects to Descartes’ view that the soul or mind is what makes a person the same person from one moment to the next. Instead, Locke says, it is “consciousness” that makes a person the same person from one moment to the next. Do you think there is a real difference between Descartes’ view and Locke’s view? Is there a difference between a person’s mind and the person’s consciousness?
