Present and discuss Wiggins’ example of the “old sweater” and its wool (Wiggins, 91 n.1). What is this example supposed to show?
Discussion
Burke’s solution to the puzzle about Theon and Dion (or Tibbles and Tib) depends on this claim:
Essentialism: A person cannot cease to be a person, and a nonperson cannot cease to be a nonperson.
The truth of this claim allows Burke to argue that Theon ―which is a nonperson and a proper part of Dion who in turn is a person― ceases to exist. Do you agree with the claim of Essentialism? Can you think of any counterexample to that claim?
Make sure to use examples (you can come up with your own examples) and try to put in your own words the relevant concepts and ideas. (You can check the video and notes for lectures 3 and 5 of this week).
