Abstract

ABSTRACT Conventionalists hold that the sorts of events that one survives—such as teletransportation, or a brain transplant—is at least partly determined by our attitudes. But, if Conventionalism is true, whose attitudes directly determine whether one survives? Do the individual’s attitudes do all of the work, as Private Conventionalists hold, or do the community’s attitudes also contribute, as Public Conventionalists hold? There has recently been a greater push towards Private Conventionalism, while explicit arguments for Public Conventionalism are difficult to find. In this paper, I attempt to rectify the situation by presenting my case for Public Conventionalism.
