Subject: this one hurts storm! Author: medeis [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 10:18:37 05/19/01 Sat In reply to: storm 's message, "a question that i just cant get my head around - medeis, its your spotlight!!" on 08:01:11 05/19/01 Sat man, you do ask the hard ones! i have no idea as to the answer to this so will just start off the topic. it was descartes who said "cogito ergo sum"...i think therefore i am. this is just a circular argument and doesn't really tell you (me that is) anything at all. ok, so having got that out of the way... the first premise is what is conciousness. is it just an epiphenomenon of materiality or is it a "greater reality". in other words, does conciousness simply arise from the material state and that is all there is, or is there a higher aspect to conciousness, i.e. a soul or some state of conciousness that allows it to transcend the material?
