Scott,
On materialist assumptions, why would "selves" be any different? Shouldn't you get two numerically different people each of whom feels like "you"?
Surely, if not, identity theory defenders (reductionists( have much bigger problems.
But I've been wondering. Is such strict materialism even common amongst naturalists who are reductionists? I haven't read much mind-reductionist literature but, at least in other fields, I don't know of too many naturalists without at least some immaterial entities in their ontologies -- even if just properties, or something.
