If there were no "others" to be outside of, how would you be able to define yourself as an individual apart from them?

Would you like some fries with that?

If you can't explain that sentence in simpler terms, I'll assume it's just more brine out your blowhole.
Consciousness implies the ability to perceive. Perceptions are necessarily real by definition.

Consciousness seperates the individual from the group, as we can only perceive our own perceptions.

Pee Wee Herman I would describe consciousness as self awereness. For example, I look around and I see where I am. I know that I am here. I know that this is my environment.

Who agrees?
Feb 14th, 2004 11:45 PM
Brandon I really don't see it as anything more than an awareness of internal and external stimuli or events. I think it's a mistake to even refer to it as if it were a unified whole, since it's just an abstraction.
