Higher consciousness

For as long as human beings have been able to reflect on their own consciousness, there has been a prevailing interest with one of the most mysterious activities of the mind: the formation of dreams. From ancient cultures across the world to modern psychologists, humans have always wondered about the origin of dreams. However a more recent development in the study of dreams has been the question of why dreams occur, rather than how they 're formed. The two major theories involving dreams are…

As a learning method, I enter each course of an open mind. This learning modality allows me to focus on each objective and its manifestations. I observed this process during my Master’s program and I kept note through discernment and consciousness in my daily journey. During the prelude, the title is what attracted me to apprehend this course had something to do change. When trying to complete and absorb my assignments, I had a bit of trouble, until week three. Throughout this time, a lot of the…

Who attempted to make Locke’s stance absurd in his essay titled ‘Essays on the Intellectual Powers of Man’ specifically essay III, Chapter 6. Reid has several arguments against Locke, most notably against the heart of his theory, consciousness. This argument uses a child who was flogged as a boy, who would later become a decorated war veteran. The war veteran can still recall himself as a boy so by Locke’s notion he still is himself. However in the later stages of his life the war hero…

the validity of the identity theory is that we don’t know how reality compares with one’s experience: we know that the conscious experience is vastly different from the neurological experience that we can show using MMRIs—some qualities of our consciousness seemingly undetectable. (Heil, 80) In addition to the conscious and neurological experience being different the objective experience can be different, for instance people have hallucinations. (Heil, 82) Objection two is trying to argue that…

Throughout history, philosophers have been setting up plenty of theories to determine if the mind and the body are one. Substance dualism is one of those theories. Specifically, Descartes is a dualist who brings up the indivisibility argument about the mind that has been trusted until science is well developed. Even though Descartes’ argument is well-accepted, it is not strongly supported by factual evidence, and it is easily defeated by a simple question, which is how the mind and the body…

Body and Mind: The Same and Different Thought. Consciousness. Knowledge. All aspects of the human mind that remain one of the greatest phenomenon, both philosophically and scientifically. Many have postulated its complexity and whether its relationship with the physical world is spiritual or mechanical, but even in the 21st century, questions remain. Somehow, our mind has developed into this complex system that, through electrical impulses, is able to manipulate the physical world. Some believe…

The institutionalization of dying incorporates the fact that we have control over mortality and that death can be cured and death is now institutionalized (people die more in hospitals). There have become greater scientific methods for curing and healing people. Over 11% of people over the age of 80 are in nursing homes. The family does not participate frequently in the rituals of the death. Death is less visible and prevalent. They have been given to professional and death has been kept away…

body is a widely debated and unsolved topic that has plagued the human quest for truth. The question has deep philosophical roots and has several titles, for example, the mind-body problem, mind-body interaction problem, or the hard problem of consciousness. Prima facie, the question may appear unnecessary as we ourselves obviously have minds, and we can physically feel and experience the world around us. Descartes famously stepped up the game on this question with his Meditations’. He broke…

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…
