RE: The Theory of Consciousness: A New Era of Science

in #philosophy8 years ago (edited)

Great point here:

"Regarding Objective we mean that the question is epistemically objective. This can be true even if ontologically consciousness is subjective. This means that while consciousness is subjective in its being, it can still be studied from the outside. Regarding Unity if consciousness is to interact with the physical world, it has to somehow be part of the physical world."

... that SO many people simply do not understand, especially so-called "scientific" intellectuals and even "philosophers", and also other type of thinkers as well like so-called "spiritualists" who deny who we are are and end up with "nothing" int he end, like you say, while also merging there "nothingness" into a blind feel-good "unity" belief that they are everything as well. It's not nothing or everything, which you do seem to accept above. It's something emergent from other things grouping, coordinating, aggregating, organizing.

Belief is powerful, and also dangerous. Truth is the antidote. Truth is the synonym for reality/existence, it is veritas, verifable, veracious, it has veracity.

These pseudo-philosophers though, they think they can deny consciousness as existing, or free will as existing, because they are focused, not on reality that is present and demonstrable as a reality for anyone to recognize easily, but on specific units of measurement to qualify something as existing. I think they are infected with the fallacious "logical positivism" and hyper-empiricism. This also relates to the denial of objective moral comprehension, since people who similarly want to declare morality as subjective and accept the disease of moral relativism whereby there is no actual right or wrong, no good or evil action and behavior.

I also do work on consciousness , thinking and moral truth on my own site.

Consciousness

Great job! Take care. Peace.

Thanks, I agree with a lot of what you say! :)

Damn! I knew if I kept reading that someone would get to "moral relativism" (wink). I had to laugh (with you, I hope) on reading the phrase; "the disease of moral relativism".

Cheers.
