    Reasons For

    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Judgements about experience are less likely to err when they concern more basic and ubiquitous features of consciousness
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Change and continuity are among the most basic and ubiquitous features of consciousness
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    Reason against 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Ubiquity of a feature increases the risk of projecting conceptual frameworks onto experience rather than accurately reporting it.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Temporal concepts like 'change' and 'continuity' are heavily theory-laden, shaped by language and culture before any introspective act.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Therefore, the very basicness of temporal experience makes it more susceptible to systematic miscategorization, not less.

    Reason against 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Husserl and Heidegger both argue that the structure of time-consciousness is precisely what ordinarily escapes reflective grasp, being a condition of experience rather than its content.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Judgements about the conditions of experience are epistemically harder to verify than judgements about experiential contents, since the conditions are not directly presented as objects.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    In response realists will fully accept that we believe that change and continuity (of the Modest and/or Strong forms) are features of our immediate experience. What they are unlikely to accept is the proposal that (in effect) these features of our experience reduce to these beliefs. They will claim – and on the face of it, plausibly – that we know there is more to our consciousness than our beliefs about our consciousness. We know this because we have direct introspective access to the content a
