one thing that we discussed was the following: in order to be able to hold people responsible for actions that they have performed in the past, it is essential to have a notion of personal identity over time.

Question:Here's a "fun" thought experiment. Suppose that you're at a party and someone spikes your drink (this means that they secretly put alcohol or drugs in your drink without your knowledge or consent). You wake up the next morning with a big headache, and you have no recollection at all of the party, or what you did at the party. Right then, the host of the party calls you, and angrily accuses you of stealing their favourite book from their bookshelf at the party last night. They have eyewitnesses at the party that say they saw you take the book. They have security camera footage that shows you walking out of the house with the book. But, since your drink was spiked, you have no memories of taking the book.

Question (a.): According to Locke's memory criterion, did you take the book from the party? (Yes or no, and explain - 5 points.)

Question (b.) Given your answer in question (a.), do you think that you are responsible for stealing a book? (Yes or no, and explain - 5 points.)
