Abstract

Showing how the borders that people have traditionally used to separate people from people are not necessarily boundaries between persons, our philosophical explanation of how it is possible that we are all the same person—how Open Individualism can be true in spite of its many apparent excluders—lessens the significance of the various borders between us while enhancing the significance of what we all have in common, within us: the I of personal identity, our ubiquitous fulcrum of consciousness.
