Not really; but we can make it into a definition problem.
If we go there then consciousness is suddenly just our subjective experience of change/time/increasing entropy.
If you want a definition that's helpful you're going to have to be more specific than that of course.
- bbctol 10y agoSaying consciousness is "just our subjective experience" of anything isn't a definition, it's tautology. The question is whether a reductionist definition of consciousness exists, or whether it's fundamentally irreducible.
- mtrimpe 10y agoWhether that's a tautology or not really depends on your definition of consciousness which is sort of my point: that consciousness, as the broad and poorly defined concept it currently is, is not all that useful.
