Midnattssol : Metamorfoser och medvetandefilosofi i The Hidden Oracle och Midnight Sun / Polar Night : Metamorphoses and Philosophy of Mind in The Hidden Oracle and Midnight SunJonsson Höök, Malin January 2021 (has links)
The aim of this work is to examine how physical and mental metamorphoses affect the perception of the self. To do this I study the literary characters Apollo (The Hidden Oracle, by Rick Riordan) and Edward Cullen (Midnight Sun, by Stephenie Meyer), both of whom experience these different kinds of metamorphoses. I approach this problem with the help of philosophy of mind and, more specifically, the mind-body problem as well as the problem of personal identity. Amongst other things, I find that the physical metamorphoses are what enable and initiate the mental ones. I also discover that one of the biggest impacts on personal identity and the self comes from whether the characters are immortal or not.
