Where does it appear outside of biology?
- edgyquant 19d agoWhere does consciousness appear in biology? It’s a philosophical/metaphysical concept so far as I can tell
- mannykannot 18d agoThe one thing that I think all philosophers agree on is that the only confirmed cases of consciousness discovered so far are biological. They are divided over whether there is anything fundamentally more metaphysical about it than other biological phenomena (with Dennett having been the best-known dissenter, though he has many successors), and the debate has been going on without resolution for centuries, if not millennia.
