Anyone overlooking the ancient Indian philosophical (or spiritual depending on the way you look at it) literature, a.k.a The Upanishads, is being ignorant about consciousness studies.
The term "Chit" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cit_(consciousness) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cit_(consciousness)) was introduced by The Upanishads for referring to consciousness/awareness long before any of the modern philosophers did so.

- yeaman1231 6y agogood luck mate, I (used to be one of those people) always run into people in tech that treat science as a religion (scientism) and simply refuse to look at philosophical traditions of their own culture (save for foreign cultures) because of their narrow modern conception of religion. On a separate note, I am interested in comparative theology (traditions in general) and the link you mentioned seems very interesting, thank you ---- Edit: For context: grew up in the middle east and living in California now, studied a ton about middle eastern theology and western theology, would love more resources on the east
