Personal Identity and Bodily Ownership in Locke
Lolordo argues that Locke faces a problem about bodily ownership and that he has an account of bodily ownership on which there is a strong parallel between bodily ownership and personal identity. We appropriate our bodies, just as we appropriate past actions. She is also going to suggest that this helps us see that there’s a core notion of appropriation that applies to property as well as to our bodies and our past actions; bodily ownership is the bridge between the appropriation of past actions and the appropriation of land.
