    Reason against 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.The Strong Continuity Thesis requires that temporally extended intervals be represented as unified wholes in a single conscious act.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Realists hold that only instantaneous present states are directly experienced, with succession inferred across discrete moments.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.A view grounding temporal experience in inference across discrete moments cannot satisfy a thesis requiring direct unified apprehension of succession.

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason against 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Husserl's retentional model shows that experiencing succession requires the co-presence of retention and primal impression within one act.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Realists deny that past phases are genuinely co-present in experience, treating each moment as independently real and punctate.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Denying co-presence of temporal phases undermines the continuity of the experiential flow that the Strong Continuity Thesis demands.

    What divides Modest from Strong forms of continuity is the existence of directly experienced connections – James’ ‘co-conscious transitions’ – between successive stream-phases. The experienced transitions posited by advocates of Strong Continuity can plausibly be regarded as experienced changes (or successions). Since antirealists deny that change or succession can be directly experienced, they are not in a position to accept the Strong Continuity Thesis. It is otherwise for realists: since the
