→Binary predicate of individual beings
=== Binary predicate of individual beings ===
The term "conscious" is also being used as a binary predicate, i.e. a predicate which takes two "variables". In one way of using the term, one of the variables refers to individual beings such as persons or organisms, and the other refers to objects of perception or thinking, cf. [[add LINKconsciousness#Consciousness in the intentional sense|consciousness in the intentional sense]]below.
''Example:'' A person is conscious of a red tomato.
