> but there is no agreed upon definition of what collection of things comprise consciousness
Colors, sounds, tastes, smells, feels, emotions that makeup perception, imagination, inner dialog or visualization, dreams, hallucinations, illusions.
Or qualia if you want to reference the philosophy of mind literature, where the debate and various positions are well defined and extensively argued.
- epgui 4y ago> Colors, sounds, tastes, smells, feels, emotions that makeup perception, imagination, inner dialog or visualization, dreams, hallucinations, illusions. All of which are things we can explain without any magic. The literature on qualia pretty much has the same problem as the literature on consciousness.
- goatlover 4y agoWho said anything about "magic"? That's straw-manning the literature on qualia. I'd like to hear your explanations for our sensations, because I'm not aware of any that actually explains them.
