	abstract = {This paper focuses on three theories of personal identity that incorporate the idea that personal identity is the result of a person{\textquoteright}s adopting certain attitudes towards certain mental states and actions. I call these theories <i>subjective theories of personal identity</i>. I argue that it is not clear what the proponents of these theories mean by {\textquotedblleft}personal identity{\textquotedblright}. On standard theories, such as animalism or psychological theories, the term {\textquotedblleft}personal identity{\textquotedblright} refers to the numerical identity of persons and its analysis provides the persistence conditions for persons. I argue that if the subjective theories purport to provide a criterion of numerical personal identity, they fail. A different interpretation may suggest that they purport to provide a non-numerical type of identity for the purpose of providing plausible analyses of certain identity-related practical concerns. I argue that the criteria the subjective theories provide fail to capture several of the identity-related concerns. As a result, this interpretation must be rejected as well.},
