Consciousness

to allow Tuvix to live as two in one, or to separate him back into the original state. I would advise the captain to separate him. This is because the mind/brain is a complex thing that contributes to our personal identity through consciousness as far as the consciousness can be extended back in time according to Locke. Though while it would be interesting to see the operation of two men as one it doesn’t seem to be the best idea. This is because Mr. Neelix has the memory of two men, which…

Then Martians, computers, or anything that can be conscious about its own consciousness can be consider a person. Self-consciousness is distinct for human. A dog has its consciousness since it has its desires and beliefs, yet, unlike human, it can’t have conscious experience of their thoughts and attitudes. Also, Baker thinks that a human person is constituted by human animal when it has self-consciousness. Constitution is the relation between entity and the material that entity is made of…

capacity of human consciousness within Cartesian dualism. Science, or more precisely quantum physics, have introduced persuasive reasons to be skeptical of a dualistic philosophy as being conceivable. In order for the realms of mind and matter to interact, physics claims that an exchange of energy is necessary, yet we know that energy of the material world remains constant, as the law of conservation of energy claims. Therefore, if the one reality is material in nature, consciousness cannot…

understanding brain helps in philosophical issues. Churchland states: “you cannot understand the mind without understanding how the brain works.” (The Neural Basis of Consciousness) Churchland believes that fully understand brain structure and function is able to truly understand human consciousness. Churchland also realized that all consciousness are rooted in the nervous system of the human brain. As same as self-reflective awareness, it is rooted in the nervous system of the human…

what the personal identity is derived from. In Locke’s Personal Identity, the personal identity stems from the consciousness itself instead of the physical body. The identity is significant to the individual, as it allows the individual to distinguish between the experiences from their mind and what may be from another individual’s. If the personal identity were not derived from consciousness and instead from the body, then the experiences, including who received them, would not matter in…

is not what the personal identity is derived from. In locke, the personal identity stems from the consciousness itself instead of the physical body. The person identity is an important element in defining a person. If the personal identity were not derived from consciousness and instead from the body, then just about anyone who had control of the body could be known as that person. The consciousness would not matter, and the personal identity would be nothing more than a label. The personal…

4). A major principle in the Gaian polity is thinking about consciousness in terms of ecology instead of one-sided ideas. In a political culture, Truth can be widely known and contained in a methodology of ideas and ideals. It could possibly be capitalism or communism, Christianity, or Islam. Then, the good is formed…

know we are conscious or not?”. The question cannot easily be answered know if we aren’t fully aware of consciousness itself. An easy way to interpret this concept is a quote from an Indian philosopher when he made a comparison of an eye not being able to look at itself (Solomon, 2008, p. 19), which means that we can understand the world with the use of it, but we cannot understand consciousness itself. I will argue in this paper that the life-like robot Harold is conscious because he is aware…

Strawsons concept of this is “one person, one consciousness; same person, same consciousness” (30.) Strawson describes this theory through “The recipe for counting individual minds is to count people; for him the identification of a mind presents no greater (no less) a problem than the identification of a person” also…

In the conversation with wife, in the lost in meditation, and in his unconscious trip to the west, readers can observe and sympathy his process of change. Gabriel’s last view was not an outside view but inner consciousness, and it shows his stream of consciousness. His conscious is traveling to the west which represents the death and life. The snow that was falling during the party time was the image of the death while the snow at the end reflects Gabriel’s escape from the ole ego as…
