[E. Pluribus Unum]

What is consciousness, for starters?

Or do you believe that consciousness does not exist?

[ifinnegan]

I asked you what is consciousness.

You need to define what you mean.

I provided an example of being conscious vs being unconscious.

My guess is that would not be what you mean by consciousness.

That latter notion is endemic of some eliminativists, who are of the materialist school. One of them, Frank Jackson of Australian National University, believes that consciousness technically does not “exist” except as an “epiphenomenon” of brain functions.
