Interesting Ideas

Conscious Entities There are many other theories of consciousness besides those described on the 'people' pages, some of them serious contenders, others less likely. Are traditional ideas about souls and spirits right after all? Could consciousness have arisen through the breakdown of the bicameral mind in historical times? Is it all down to memes, or just a matter of different levels of explanation? Perhaps consciousness is simply a higher-order mental process - thoughts about thoughts? Here are a few of the most interesting and appealing theories..
Levels of explanation
Reality is not simple. In biology, for example, even the most thorough-going materialist would accept that there are interesting things to be said about cells, organisms, and species which cannot be boiled down to a bald account of atoms and forces - though at the same time we never doubt for a moment that in some sense mere physics provides all the ingredients biology requires.
