ABOUT IDENTITY OF THE «SELF» IN TIME

In this article the nature of the identity of the "self" in time is considered. Identity of the "self" in time is not a consequence of the similarity or causation of successive states of consciousness since The diachronic identity the "self" must have the same nature as the synchronic identity the "self", namely the form of unity, but the unity of the super-temporal. Identity of the "self" in time is considered as a manifestation of the super- temporal unity of consciousness, directly experienced as a phenomenon of meaning. Meaning is the correlation of the object of understanding with the contexts that are mainly in the past and the future, so the meaning can be interpreted as the effect of temporal non-locality of consciousness
