Integrated information theory

Then, what is the point of consciousness? There are some, such as neuroscientist Daniel De Haan and philosophers Giulio Tononi and Peter Godfrey-Smith, who argue that consciousness can best be explained by “integrated information theory.” In this theory, consciousness is something that emerges from the sum of our cognitive processes — or, more specifically, the “capacity of a system to […]

Our own „insubstantiality“: „The whole development of (suffering) is an attempt on our part to shield ourselves from the truth of our insubstantiality . . . The source of the effort to confirm our solidity is an uncertainty as to whether or not we exist. Driven by this uncertainty, we seek to prove our own existence by finding a reference point outside ourselves, something with which to […]

Prirodzenosť, identita, postavenie a stav človeka Autor: Peter Vajda a Drahoslav Vajda Vysvetlenie pojmov Mnohé pasáže a témy Písma je ťažké vyložiť bez toho, aby boli použité výrazové prostriedky, kategórie či pojmy, ktoré sa v ňom nenachádzajú.

Filodoxia

A Filológia (Filo) is the physical manifistation of a creature’s ambitions, desires, and willpower.

Slavoj Žižek, Hegel in a Wired Brain, 2020

“The standard definition of sublimation is the elevation of an ordinary object to the dignity of a Thing. As Lacan aptly demonstrated apropos courtly love, an ordinary object (woman) is there elevated to the dignity of the Thing, she becomes an ‘inhuman partner,’ dangerous to get too close to, always out of reach, mixing horror and respect.”

For the most part, members of our species simply repeat what they are told-and become upset if they are exposed to any different view.
