We are identical to neither our bodies, brains, or memories. In fact, there is something fundamental to our identity that is a kind of irreducible subjectivity, which is best accounted for by what is metaphysically simple (probably a soul). Some call this an objective mode, which is insufficient without a theological analysis. I explore the soul, or person‘s, identity in light of theology engaged with embryology and dementia, which reveals more about us than philosophy (or science) is capable.
