What is generic subjective continuity?
The theory of generic subjective continuity posits that subjective experiences persist after death, but not in traditional religious or spiritual forms.
It suggests a seamless transition of consciousness where there's no experience gape or non-existence.
This idea builds on the observation that unconscious periods during life, such as sleep, do not feel like gapes in experience.
Philosopher Thomas W.
Clarke and Wayne Stewart proposed that consciousness might continue in new form as long as there are material conditions for it.
Their views challenge traditional notion of death, implying that individual life's end doesn't necessarily equate to the cessation of subjective experience.
