To take a concrete example (which I think is historical,
although it is documented in a novel, ZEN AND THE ART OF
MOTORCYCLE MAINTENANCE), was Robert Pirsig the same person after
the electroshock therapy administered to him as he was before?
He leaves the question rather open. It's an interesting book
for anyone interested in these identity issues.
