CHAPTER

What Is Consciousness?

We're gonna have to define it even though or can't fully define of course but you know within the context of an hour and 15-minute podcast we can come up with some sort of definition. What does the ai say? It says consciousness is the state of being aware of one's thoughts feelings and surroundings. The way to approach consciousness philosophically is to take a position for or against like the Kantian kind of view which means either be anti-Kantian or adopt some modification of the Kantian view. We'll get into the darritian problem right where it's like every word in the definition is going to refer to other words at infinitum.
