Summary/Abstract: Complex biological and psychological explanations of personal identity do not grasp the essence of a person as an agent. They explain the functioning of various dispositions that are necessary for the existence of a person. Psychological explanations describe inner experiences of self-creation of a person, and an appropriate narrative account ex plains the essential first-person perspective of self-creation. Even though a dispositional view of human substance is problematic, it seems to be able to unify various levels of dispositions, which are involved in being the same person over time.
