Substance dualism is too strong but physicalistic monism denies the substantial unity of the self as well as the unity of apperception, leaving experience unaccountable.
The subject of my experience is me and I am my body, as William Leijpen put it a long time ago in his Existential Phenomenology.
But the living, sensing, perceiving, thinking, desiring, willing body that I am is no insubstantial aggregate, no mere congeries of physical parts and processes.
A different kind of emergentism?
Maybe.
Just a thought.
Rushdie.
