    Reasons For

    2 perspectives
    Reason for 1 of 2
    ?

      ?

      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 for 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.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
