Abstract


 Alla Gibbard’s famous essay on the possibility of contingent identity (1975) questions the validity of Barcan and Kripke’s argument on the necessity of identity (1947, 1971). Gibbard’s theory has inspired several philosophers to rethink the problem of personal identity. The paper presents a critical analysis of Harold N. Noonan’s theory of contingent identity (1991, 1993, 2005, Curtis-Noonan 2014).
