Abstract
This chapter examines John Locke's argument that it is possible to transfer consciousness of an action from one agent or thinking or intellectual substance to another as part of his main point: that a person or subject can possibly survive change of immaterial substance. It first considers person use vs. non-person use in relation to Locke's use of the terms “agent,” “thinking substance,” and “intellectual substance” before proposing the term [Ag]-transfer to refer to a transfer of consciousness of an action or experience from one Lockean “agent” to another; [I]-transfer to refer to a transfer of consciousness of an action or experience from one immaterial substance to another; [P]-transfer to refer a transfer of consciousness of an action or experience from one person to another; and for good measure, and [M]-transfer to refer to a transfer of consciousness of an action or experience from one packet of material substance to another.
