Abstract

In this article addresses personal identity from the perspective of Derek Parfit, through a philosophical contrast between the essentialist approach and phenomenological conceptions of the same. The purpose of this article is to consider personal identity as a philosophical problem in the context of a world that recreates identifications through cyberspace and image. Therefore, approaching personal identity from a psychological perspective allows for the establishment of arguments that contribute to the relevance of memory as a relevant factor in the problem of identity, thanks to the contributions of Parfit´s philosophy, which maintains variability and durability over time as determinants of personal identity. This means that we can understand personal identity from an appreciation of the past, rather than a predetermined future.
