The paper analyzes the typology of personal identity theories. It identifies the criteria that form the basis for conceptualizing identity theories: psychological, biological, substantial and narrative. The main arguments in favor of using each criterion are presented and the directions of modern criticism of these theories are outlined. The holistic potential of the theory of narrative identity is studied in the context of the joint application of the psychological, biological and narrative criteria used to solve the problem of personal identity. It is argued that the theory of narrative identity allows the use of the three designated criteria in constructing a holistic model of personal identity through a number of dialectical oppositions: Self/Other; personal/social; subjective/objective; intentionality/passivity; intelligible/physical.
