Art Word of the Day: Consciousness
Term: Consciousness
Definition: The state of being conscious
or aware, which includes 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, especially at a given moment (as opposed to "mind" which is the sum of past conscious moments). Many twentieth century thinkers, both in philosophy and in the medical sciences, describe consciousness on a materialist model as a byproduct of synaptic exchanges (whether described in chemical, electrical, or neurological terms). Also used to refer to a special awareness or sensitivity to a concern, an issue, or a situation.Also see attention, context, epistemology, gestalt, knowledge, meaning, perception, phenomenology, and seeing.
Art Word of the Day
Every day I make an attempt to add a little bit more art knowledge to the Internet, one word at a time. Realizing there aren’t many comprehensive and complete online art dictionaries, I set out on a mission to compile my own.

So, how is the best way to contact you? I have steemchat but in order to find you on there I need some 4 digit number associated with you? Also, I had a total of $4.85 for 2 days and now it is $4.75? What did I do? Is that because I pissed someone off or something?
Hi @artopium! Wow! That is quite a comprehensive definition of "consciousness". The comparison with the definition of "mind" was interesting.
