    It is not the case that If soul-body union requires material continuity, the soul's own immateriality already violates this standard, making the spirits' flux irrelevant as an objection.

    ?Set your confidence on the premises below to see your aggregate.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Union itself requires some shared relational property; immaterial-material union demands explanation of what makes such bonding possible.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Dismissing the flux objection as irrelevant assumes the soul-body problem already solved; it hasn't explained how unity persists across change.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.If the soul lacks material continuity, we need an alternative account of persistence through time; 'immateriality' alone doesn't provide one.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Material continuity as a union requirement assumes physicalism; immaterial souls inherently operate under different metaphysical principles.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.The objection conflates two distinct issues: material continuity (body) versus immaterial continuity (soul), making it a category error.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.If souls can interact with matter at all, requiring material continuity for that interaction is an additional constraint without independent justification.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
