Locke proposed that persons are essentially capable of self-consciousness. Their identity should be analysed in terms of consciousness , which is standardly interpreted as the proposal that a person is identical with whoever's exploits they remember as their own - the memory criterion. His negative thesis is that this consciousness is not necessarily tied to a body or soul.
