Open individualism

Open individualism

Open individualism is the view in philosophy according to which there exists only one numerically identical subject who is everyone.[1] It is a theoretical solution for the question of personal identity.

The term was coined by philosopher Daniel Kolak, though similar ideas have been expressed since the time of the Upanishads, and more recently by some notable physicists such as Freeman Dyson, Fred Hoyle and Erwin Schrödinger.
