In this contribution, we expound the concept of person that A. J. Ayer developed in The Concept of a Person (1963). The goal of this exposition is twofold: on the one hand, we pretend to show one aspect of Ayer’s philosophy that is not as popular as others of his; and on the other, we attempt to recover a mental experiment that may be interesting for the contemporary debate about the nature of persons.
