Omnisubjectivity and Transformative Experience
Abstract
This essay investigates the intersection of omnisubjectivity, the idea that God knows what all experiences are like, with the idea of transformative experience, that some experiences cannot be experientially forecasted before they are had. The result is an argument that transformative experiences are hard to make sense of on some views of omnisubjectivity that make simulation or imagination key. Instead, the viability of a perception-based account is argued for.
