Consciousness

The conscious mind includes everything that we are aware of. This is the aspect of our mental

I only found myself having one issue with this topic. Dr. Eagleman goes to say that everything we do is controlled by unconsciousness. Then, he goes on to say that “consciousness is like the CEO of a large corporation.” But, how can he talk about consciousness when he says everything we do is controlled by the unconscious. What even is conscious then if what seems like everything we do and who we are, is controlled by something we have no control over. Wouldn’t that make us unconscious? Dr. Eagleman made it is confusing in that instance by talking about consciousness.

Consciousness as the primary regulator of the body an how we interact with either the conducive or bad environment that one live in. However, consciousness can cause misfortune that could lead to someone doing wrong things. It is ones consciousness that often enables us to commit crimes such as murder or robbery as the thought was first altered by consciousness. Furthermore, if one consciousness doesn’t function effectively this might make the person vulnerable to predators. (Kowalski, 2005: 291)

Consciousness allows a person to recognize their existence, and subsequently, to form their essence. The

Consciousness, from an existentialist standpoint, is defined as awareness of how no life has inherent meaning or importance, and how one’s life is defined by how they are viewed by others. Though many pursue a synthetic purpose in life, in the end, their life is only defined by others' perceptions of their efforts and character.

Consider artificial intelligence. There are enormously erudite and complex debates about whether an AI can become conscious, and the dangers that might arise from that consciousness. These individuals either ignore the question of what consciousness is, or founder on the attempt to find a definition. (“Being able to produce a narrative about what one is doing while doing it” is perhaps as good a definition as any.)

Consciousness is the state or condition of being conscious. A sense of one's personal or collective identity, especially the complex of attitudes, beliefs, and sensitivities held by or considered characteristic of an individual or a group. There are several different stages of consciousness. Waking consciousness, altered states of consciousness and sleep.

With that being said, a consciousness gives a person a personal identity. In addition, if the person does not remain with the same consciousness, then the issue of accountability

Consciousness is your awakened state of mind in which you are cognizant of and are able to distinguish between realities while also being preemptive to one’s thoughts, emotions, and feelings through the establishment of the fundamental aspect of student-object relationships in which one is not only aware and mindful of his surroundings, but oneself as well at any given moment as the present renders sentiments of familiarity, presumably rectifying preconceived notions that consciousness is merely an illusion and is rather more so a universal force and a collective body of existence and self-realization.

My own theory of consciousness is a state of awareness of self. It has been said that this awareness stems from arousal. Consciousness, to me, is entirely internal. We experience the external world, but only through our senses. Dehaene and Naccache (2001) explain that neuroscience is beginning to investigate and understand the "neural underpinnings of consciousness." Thus, consciousness is something that we experience via our own bodies. However, there is an implied separation between experience and consciousness. Animals and plants also have mechanisms for interacting with the world, but they do not appear to have the same neural underpinnings that them to interpret the world with the same awareness that humans have. We, however, not only experience the external world, but we are aware of that experience.

Many people have different ideologies that consciousness is something study, yet, not found even still today, I believe that consciousness and personal intimacy reveals how we are truly human beings and not just robots. The consciousness is in the doing and it shows the

“contents of consciousness that possess sensory qualities as opposed to those that are purely verbal or abstract”

Consciousness for many years has been a debatable topic between people, where some take the materialist approach while others take the dualist approach. Metaphysical materialism is the view that there is no such thing as spooky substances only matter. This type of view goes on to say that phenomenon’s such as the conscious is just byproducts of material substances interacting with one another. Materialist’s views for a long time were hard to rebuke. However, in 1996 David Chalmers wrote The consciousness mind, which does rebuke materialism’s very view. In his piece, he has people imagine a world exactly like the one conscious human beings

Consciousness is the heart of free will and intent, it is responsible for the ability of a person to choose. With that said, it is my belief that defining personal identity relies on both bodily and mental continuity.

Conscious state according to dictionary.com is being aware of one’s own existence these may involve thoughts, sensations (images, aches, pain, visual, auditory and tactual sensation etc.). Smart refuses to admit to the fact that sensations are irreducibly psychical because of Occam’s razor (which suggests that such matters should not even be put into consideration). He affirms there is no philosophical argument that compels us to be dualist, he writes “I am in pain is a genuine report, and that what it reports is an irreducibly psychical something”(Adler and Elgin 384). From this context he believes that by claiming one is in pain one is reporting something, which is over and above, (something unexplainable beyond the human
