“Subjective identity”- A sense of being a seperate person, and the same person over time.
“Personal identity’- A vague term, defined differently by different philosophers. Generally used to mean what a person “is”. A significiant amount of the debate is what coherent definition should be put on it.
I’m not sure about that. But why the second term is needed is because some philosophers dispute “Subjective identity” and “personal identity” being the same thing. Body view and Form view philosophers being most prominent. A common type of analogy would be that somebody could think they were Napoleon without being Napoleon.
Not being a philosopher, I don’t know the difference.

Why is the second term needed? Is this like internal vs external view of identity?
