    A succession of experiential phases that are diachronically co-conscious already constitutes an experience of succession without requiring additional explanation

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Diachronic co-consciousness means that a temporal spread of contents are all experienced together
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If phases P1, P2, P3 … Pn are diachronically co-conscious, they form a single specious present
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.A single specious present comprising successive phases just is an experience of succession
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    2 perspectives
    Reason against 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Co-consciousness is a symmetric unity relation, but succession requires asymmetric before/after structure that mere co-presence cannot supply.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.The 'diachronic' qualifier smuggles in temporal order without explaining how co-conscious phases acquire their directional, asymmetric phenomenal character.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.If co-consciousness alone constituted experienced succession, simultaneous co-conscious contents would equally generate succession, which is absurd.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason against 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Husserl's retention-protention structure shows that temporal experience requires intentional acts directed at phases as past or imminent, not mere co-occurrence.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.A specious present constituted only by co-conscious phases collapses into an undifferentiated 'now,' destroying the very succession it purports to explain.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    This influential line of argument leads directly to PSA, and thence to the associated Retentional model of temporal consciousness. Although the difficulty may seem serious, the Extensional theorist has an effective line of reply: the argument in question can be seen as simply begging the question. Recall the way in which the Extensional theorist construes an individual specious present, as depicted in Figures 5 and 6: a single specious present is viewed as a temporal spread of contents that are
