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.
Phenomenal presence
