"What is consciousness?"
response by Michael Babyak
Abstract:
This article talks about how our mind and body connect and form our consciousness. The article goes in depth about theories explaining how everything comes together to form our consciousness.
Memorable Quote:
"Why should physical
processing give rise to a rich inner life at all?"
Evaluative Response:
The author does seem to be pretty sure that all of the evidence explains our conciseness and why we are the way we are. It would be nice to see more facts proving it wrong instead of the whole article being for the theories.
Personal Response:
I really liked this article because it seemed as though it was more phycological then all of the other ones that I've read. I find it interesting to link behaviorism as a way to gauge our conciseness. I think it's interesting to think about in the sense that it's something we are so used to, maybe even more used to then breathing, that we don't really put too much thought into how it works or what makes us conscious. This article on the other hand really puts together the research to make you think about it.
