Primitive awareness

According to (Nida-Rümelin, 2016)[1], "experiences are such that, undergoing the experience nevvessarily involves that the subject is aware of undergoing it." This kind of awareness is called primitive awareness:

Definition
Primitive awareness is the kind of awareness for which the claim is true that it is impossible to undergo an experience without being aware of undergoing it.

Properties

  • (Nida-Rümelin, 2019) assumes that primitive awarenes is not the result of introspection or of phenomenal reflection.[1]
  • Since undergoing an experience does not necessarily involve reflecting upon that experience, primitive awareness does not involve phenomenal reflection. Since it seems however to be required as a precondition, primitive awareness seems to be pre-reflective.[1]
  • Since primitive awareness also does not require conceptualizing the experience one undergoes, but seems to be required for forming a concept of a given experience on the basis of one's own experience, it is pre-conceptual.
