#Zoomposium with Professor Dr. #Daniel #Dennett: “A #naturalistic #view on #consciousness

The #philosophical #concept of supposed #naturalistic #monism is currently the basis of most approaches to elucidating the phenomenon of #consciousness in the research field of #cognitive #neuroscience, which attempt to #reduce #mental states to #physical #states.

“Free Willy - Call of freedom for the #free #will

In this essay, I deal firstly with “the #philosophical #problem of #freedom of will”, then with the #empirical attacks on freedom of will” and finally with the ‘latest #results of #cognitive #neuroscience’ of #self-control. The whole thing is then rounded off with “proposals for overcoming the #determinism-freedom-of-will #dualism.

It is said that the mirror is the symbol of imagery or of awareness. The mirror has the ability to copy the visible reflections of the world in its own figural reality. Scheler and other philosophers associated mirrors with thought because it is a mental instrument that is the reflection of the universe and enables you to observe yourself. Frequently mirrors emerge in legends and fairytales, showing what happened in the past or what will happen in the future or what is happening now from a very far distance.
The mirror always tells the truth. Without need for the masks we people wear to protect ourselves, mirrors reflect only what they see. In a way mirrors are able to perceive the soul of ourselves, as well as of the people and things surrounding us, as they are without cover. This is partially due to the fact that what we see when we look into the mirror is actually not reality. Rather, the reflection in the mirror is an inverted version of the world we live in. Or is it the other way around?

Continued thread

I used to enjoy #deep, highly #nerdy, and rather #philosophical #conversations with many of my #peers and family members. I see that number of people who can "keep up", as it were, dwindling quite fast. Then I scroll through the little corners of the #Internets I do have active, and it astounds me how far people have #fallen, especially the younger generations. So #smart in so many ways - yet so mind #numbed in so much more.
