yet, that would also mean the individual is dispensible, and in real world terms what is this single being, where is it, whats it purpose? also where when did this being form, does it include cro-magnum and neanderthal man or just modern homo-sapien, if only the later why? does this only include human life or the animal kingdom also? what is the purpose of the individual then if we are not unique (if its just for experience, experience for what purpose), what is the purpose of this single entity, is it consciece of itself?
juggalo420 Reviewed by juggalo420 on . philosphical question here is a persons mind and being connected indefinetly to his memories and experiences even to the point of death, or can a person be the same person through some other sort of being even if he has no memory of his past. im thinking of reincarnation, like if a person were to die and be reborn could they be the same person without having the memories from their past life. i guess the real question is what constitutes what an individual is, is it his memories and past experiences or something tottaly Rating: 5
