This page aims to list (the) various notions of awareness in use today.
Contents
Primitive awareness
According to (Nida-Rümelin, 2016)[1], "experiences are such that, undergoing the experience necessarily 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, 2016) assumes that primitive awareness 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.
- Any experiencing subject is immediately aware, in the sense here at issue, of every specific aspect of what it is like for it to live through moment while it is living through moment .
Phenomenal presence
To be added. Cf. (Nida-Rümelin, 2016)[1]
