| description | According to animalism we are identical with human animals. Our death coincides
with the cessation of the functioning of an organism. Biological approach to personal
identity seems to imply that the corpse causally connected to me (as an organism)
is not me. In other words, there is no such an entity as a human animal that later
becomes a corpse. It is so-called «the corpse problem». However, there are various

survive as corpses or souls. The main task of the article provides a critical analysis
of these views |
