One Self: All experience is equally here, now and mine and all conscious organisms are equally I. My argument for this crucial further development is presented in ‘One Self – The Logic of Experience’, Inquiry 33 (1991): pp. 39-68. https://philpapers.org/rec/ZUBMUA Thus would radically differ from the ("real") materialist theory of selfhood of Galen Strawson. (To talk of 100% duplicate persons, A here, B there, is lurking functionalism, I think Strawson would say. A and B are not made of the same particles.) @philipthrift -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
