Diogenes Laertius tells us that oikeiosis produces not only an animal's affinity for its own constitution but also a consciousness of that constitution (Long, 'Stoic philosophers', p. 352); Seneca provides the most detailed Stoic reflections on what later becomes called the problem of personal identity in his Letter 121
