Consciousness - 2

I asked about early enquiry into consciousness in my previous post, well I found some, pretty early too! The ancient Greek Atomists!

Time to research them!

Sorry I missed your earlier post, Waz (busy with essays and other fruitful pursuits). Nonetheless, will you be posting your commentary on your discoveries?

For me, the interesting question concerning consciousness is not whether we have consciousness, how we have consciousness, or how is it that this stupid piece of flesh can somehow constitute thought. The question for me is what does it mean that we are conscious? and further to this, conscious of what?

Answering these questions, I think, have far reaching implications.
