The Phenomenal Unity of Consciousness
The Oxford Handbook of the Philosophy of Consciousness July 9, 2020 Farid Masrour 2 citations
The chapter examines philosophical debates about the unity of consciousness, focusing on phenomenal unity—the way experiences feel connected. It critiques the dominant Unity Thesis, which claims all simultaneous experiences of a subject are phenomenally unified. The author argues against understanding unity as a type of oneness or singularity, instead proposing that phenomenal unity arises from connectivity conditions among experiences.
