In This Selection Locke Sets Forth His Psychological State Theory

True/False

In this selection Locke sets forth his psychological state theory of personal identity, locating the criterion of personal identity in terms of consciousness (personality, character, and, especially, memory). He says that personal identity consists in "the sameness of a rational being [consciousness]." This consciousness can take on different bodily forms and still preserve the same identity. It is possible for a prince to switch bodies with a cobbler, yet the prince would still be the prince.
-Locke believes that consciousness and the soul are synonymous.
