A tertiary education institution divided into two distinct groups, one for the Animal Kingdom and Humankind, with the Animal Kingdom being the better group.

The subject in Western philosophy

Warren TangLeave a comment

Should there be a subject? 

Is there a difference between observing an external object and the internal one called the subject? 

Is it here that Western philosophy fails?

Another person’s object can be a subject, and vice versa. By label of subject have we not created a subject-centric of the world when really there is no central view?

I can sympathise with OOO for this reason. But at the same time with sense as the only access to the world, we have no choice but to have a central view. 

I think I am

It is not
I think therefore I am,
but rather,
I think I am, therefore I am.
The difference is one of illusion.

#define unconsciousness

Warren TangLeave a comment

Loss of the ability to maintain awareness of self and environment combined with markedly reduced responsiveness to environmental stimuli. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp344-5).

The question, then, is whether activity (perception) occurs in the mind (brain) during unconsciousness. Can or does perception continue? Do we interact with the mind-objects, the concepts we have acknowledged (gained knowledge of) even after the sensation of space-objects is shut off?
