long run on the network lists of unanswered questions and also the portal Ask Jeeens , who would like to respond to everything, makes a list of 10 questions that always seem to go unanswered, inviting users to search for them. Among these: "what is the meaning of life?", "Does God exist?", "Blondes have more fun?" And so continuing. And there are comic-idiotic questions like the ones you can find the site http://www.zigolo.net/domande-senza-risposta.html . But recently, I see reported in newspapers, including one of the most prestigious scientific academies, the Royal Society, he listed, the mouth of its president Martin Rees, the questions that science has not (yet?) able to answer. In addition to those of the cosmological argument, there are some that relate to man, including one that struck me asks, "What is consciousness?". I hit it, post it, reveals a kind of naivete and methodology of how to define the meaning. Psychology, science of the psyche, had inflicted self-defeating (ejecting from his own concepts as consciousness) is now a wound heal with difficulty, so we are pleased to welcome the fair return to what is right (even with all the questions related), the mind and consciousness. Writes Julian Jaynes, one of the psychologists of the rediscovery of consciousness, "World views and visions of this region is inconsistent heard silence of the mind! And these memories intangible ineffable essences, these dreams that no one can show! And as individuals, how intimate! A secret theater of monologues done without words and advice prevenient stay invisible for all moods, musings, and mysteries, a place of endless disappointments and discoveries. A whole kingdom over which each of us reigns solitary and recluse, contesting what they want, controlling what it can. Hidden hermitage where we can study in depth the troubled book of what we did and we still do. A introcosmo me which is more of what I can find in a mirror. This awareness, which is my most secret myself, who is everything and yet nothing is nothing, what is it? And where was? And why? "
Speaking of consciousness I believe is necessary, first of all, do some essential considerations. It should be noted here that we want to refer to consciousness in its most general sense of conscious experience, from its "zero" ("something is happening," "I feel pleasure or pain"), of inner life or lived in the out, therefore, semantic fields of care and morality, and its pole pairs of care / negligence, strict liability / hallway, etc.. But those who think you can find in the manuals or in any dictionary definition of this concept, will inevitably be disappointed in the lemma lemma, in fact, they ran a series of references and synonyms in a game that would not achieve any real definition. Consulting, for example., The Webster's ( Third New International Dictionary of the Inglese Language ), we find that consciousness , as consciousness in the sense of psychic function generally synonymous with the mind, leads us To: awareness = understanding, qc consciousness, alertness, aware, be awake, be ready; mindfulness = awareness, mindfulness, alertness = activation, alarm vigilance = vigilance, and continuous. P ver much, the Lalande ( Vocabulaire technique et critique de la Philosophie ), noted that consciousness is one of the key figures of mental activity, and, as such, it is not broken down into simpler elements, containing the following words of Hamilton: "Consciousness can not be: we know perfectly what is consciousness, but we can not communicate to the other without confusion, a definition of what that we ourselves clearly grasp. The reason is simple: consciousness is at the root of all knowledge. " However, this difficulty of definition is not scandalous nor witnesses to a congenital weakness of psychology when is compared with other disciplines. All, in fact, have the conditions, taken as a starting point for the definition of other concepts and properties (such as measurable "Sizes") of the phenomena being studied. So assume that physics is given immediate experience, with respect to length, mass, time and electric charge, assuming these as "fundamental values", is then used to define other sizes, which are known as the "derived quantities" (for es., speed, ratio of length and time). The fact that the fundamental values \u200b\u200bare not established, but are "taken" conscious experience (and thus are based on a given psychological!) Does not mean they can not be studied and measured, as well teaches physics.
not defined, the conscience - the basis not only of psychology but of the entire scientific construction - will therefore be investigated, as well as from the psychological, even from psychopathology, neurology, anthropology, etc.., Interested in understand extension, swings, quality, related, etc.. So, consciousness is our own experience, that without which there would be no world and no questions asked, and, as happens in other cases, the demand on it is an unanswered question, but a misplaced question.
