Consciousness

Beings of Light

Consciousness defies definition. It may involve thoughts, sensations, perceptions, moods, emotions, dreams, and an awareness of self, although not necessarily any particular one or combination of these.

Consciousness is a point of view, an I, or what Thomas Nagel called the existence of "something that it is like" to be something. Julian Jaynes has emphasized that "Consciousness is not the same as cognition and should be sharply distinguished from it. ...The most common error... is to confuse consciousness with perception." He says, "Mind-space I regard as the primary feature of consciousness. It is the space which you pre-optively are 'introspecting on' or 'seeing' at this very moment".

Ned Block divides consciousness into phenomenal consciousness (similar definition to subjective consciousness), which is subjective experience itself (being something), and access consciousness, which refers to the availability of information to processing systems in the brain (being conscious of something).

The issue of what consciousness is, and to what extent and in what sense it exists, is the subject of much research in philosophy of mind, psychology, neuroscience, cognitive science, and artificial intelligence. Issues of practical concern include how the presence of consciousness can be assessed in severely ill individuals; to what extent non-humans are self conscious; at what point in fetal development consciousness begins; and whether computers can achieve conscious states. In common parlance, consciousness denotes being awake and responsive to the environment, in contrast to being asleep or in a coma.
