We are all familiar with judgements about the persistence of people. Furthermore, we tend to structure certain attitudes and practices around such judgements because we think that personal identity matters for the relevant practical concerns. Response-dependence views try to accommodate that personal identity matters by letting relevant attitudes and practices determine the personal identity relation for a particular person. This paper argues that genuine response-dependence views are not well positioned to accommodate the connection between personal identity and what matters. Rather, if we accept such a connection, this supports normative-facts-first views, according to which relevant normative facts determine personal identity.

我们都熟悉对人的毅力的判断。此外，我们倾向于围绕此类判断构建某些态度和实践，因为我们认为个人身份对于相关的实际问题很重要。反应依赖观点试图通过让相关态度和实践决定特定人的个人身份关系来适应个人身份的重要性。本文认为，真正的反应依赖观点并不能很好地适应个人身份与重要事物之间的联系。相反，如果我们接受这样的联系，这就支持了规范事实优先的观点，根据这种观点，相关的规范事实决定了个人身份。
