  1. Extended consciousness

    Unreferenced date December 2009 In biological psychology , extended consciousness is an animal animal s autobiographical self perception. Extended consciousness is said to arise in the brain of animals with substantial capacity for memory and reason . It does not necessarily require language . The perception of a historic and future self arises from a stream of information from the immediate environment and from neural structures related to memory. A neurology department chairman from University of Iowa medical school College of Medicine popularized the concept. Antonio Damasio theorized extended consciousness to arise in the structures in the human brain he described as image spaces and dispositional spaces . Image spaces imply areas where senses sensory impressions of all types are processed, including the focused awareness of the core consciousness . Dispositional spaces include convergence zones, which are networks in the brain where memories are processed and recalled, and where knowledge is merged with immediate experience. Image processing in the cerebrum is regionally specific to various senses, but is highly distributed and interconnected, with images such as visual, spatial and perhaps linguistic impressions stored in diverse areas then assembled when recalled as a thought. Likewise, neural convergence zones are widely distributed in the lobes of the cerebral cortex . While humans are theorized to share extended consciousness with some animals, theorized neural mechanisms for extended consciousness do not provide answers to philosophy philosophical or Cosmology metaphysics cosmological questions about consciousness such as why we perceive ourselves as a limited part of a larger universe .

  1. Subjective consciousness

    Unreferenced auto yes date December 2009 Subjective consciousness refers to a state of consciousness , in which a person is constantly aware of his or her self as well as outside factors. The study of this state has achieved high priority in the modern philosophy of mind , the mind body problem or consciousness studies , as made popular by, e.g., David Chalmers . Subjective consciousness refers to the inner, private experience of mainly human beings. It is associated with the qualia made famous by Chalmers et al. This state is not to be confused with objective consciousness or the neural correlates of consciousness though this confusion existed for much of the 20th century attendant on the rise of behaviourism and positivism and the decline of the interest in introspection made popular in the 19th and early 20th century by Edmund Husserl and William James . The lack of this state, as occasionally implied by physicalism physicalists and their ilk, would raise the question of who is the internal observer, for which all the neural processing takes place. To eliminate this internal observer leads to infinite regress . The alternative is to accept the observer or homunculus . This state is also associated with ancient Hindu studies of the mind as well as to many modern teachers, such as the Dalai Lama , U.G. Krishnamurti or G.I. Gurdjieff .

  1. Unhappy consciousness

    Unreferenced date December 2006 For Hegel the unhappy consciousness German das ungl ckliche Bewu tsein is associated with a stage in the history of the development of the freedom of self consciousness . This stage of Hegel s Phenomenology of Spirit follows after the phase of the master slave consciousness. The three phases are Stoicism, followed by scepticism or cynicism, followed by the ascetic unhappy consciousness. Stoicism, Epicureanism and Hedonism For Hegel the resolution of the master slave dialectic in stoicism , hedonism and epicureanism is not lasting. The period in history Hegel associates with this is from the time of Alexander the Great on through the times of the Roman Empire. This Roman Stoicism is for Hegel something of a false resolution of the master slave dialectic, it emphasises only the freedom of thought. In the Stoic s distancing of himself from the world of desires, of pain and pleasure he achieves a freedom of conscience, but that he ignores the concrete reality is apparent in the unsatisfactory resolution of the master slave dialectic. He is ignoring the reality of the dissatisfaction apparent for both master and slave. Scepticism and Cynicism So for Hegel history shows that stoicism is replaced by scepticism and cynicism. Here again the complete disbelief in society, rather than the reasoned and calculated disbelief of the stoic, eventually leads to a dissolution ...
