Open individualism
Open individualism is a view within philosophy of self, according to which there exists only one numerically identical subject, who is everyone at all times; in the past, present and future. It is a theoretical solution to the question of personal identity, being contrasted with empty individualism, which is the view that one's personal identity corresponds to a fixed pattern that instantaneously disappears with the passage of time, and closed individualism, the common view that personal identities are particular to subjects and yet survive over time.
