The embodied life / consciousness "assumption" is warranted by evidence as well as absence of the contrary, so I'd say it's more of an axiom. "Disembo...

If by "individual" what's also meant, indeed presupposed, is embodied, then this question makes no sense whatsoever. (Unless, despite given that death...
