Concept Of Self Essay

1368 Words6 Pages

A consciousness has its first thought; this thought is without a language and is purely a thought.
It wonders about what is going on. It cannot see, feel, hear, taste or sense anything in anyway.

It is cut off from the world. Isolated and alone with its thoughts.
Not that it minds. For it does not even know that there exists a world or senses. In fact, it does not even know the concept of space or time.
It realises it just thought and it begins thinking about the fact that it is thinking. It starts finding knowledge it wants and incidentally “invents” the concept of knowledge. Knowledge that is answers to questions such as “Why do I think?” and “why do I think what I think?”. Not that it understands what questions is, these “questions” are …show more content…

For that requires knowing the concept of space, time and self.
Currently everything is its thoughts and its thoughts is everything, which is the reason as to why it does not yet understand the concept of self. To understand the concept of self, you need to know the concept of …show more content…

It uses the tiniest thought it can think at the fastest speed possible as the lowest amount of time. This unit is 1 Thought Time

1 Thought Time is equal to the time it takes for the consciousness to think the tiniest thought, thought at the fastest speed.

It tests itself and can conclude that it can accurately measure time down to 0.01 Thought Time. It has no idea why or the significance of this number. The ability to count time itself seems redundant when all that exists is its thoughts. While it does not yet know why counting time could be useful, the ability to do so appears to have no drawbacks.

It attempts to think two things simultaneously by counting from 1 and from 100 simultaneously.
It fails, it is merely switching between counting the two very quickly.
It then attempts to control how much of its consciousness is used to count from 1 and make another part of its consciousness count from 100…

….

….

Confusion, massive confusion.

It is now thinking 3 thoughts simultaneously, one of them being its normal thoughts the two other being it counting from 1 and 100. They are all 3 equally its thoughts and it is equally its 3

    The reason why time passes is because in the poem it says," It was twelve by the village clock. When Paul Revere crossed the bridge into Medford town, it was one by the village clock. When he galloped on his horse into Lexington, he saw the gilded weathercock swim in the moonlight as he passed, and the meeting-house windows, blank and bare, gaze at him with a spectral glare, as if they already stood aghast at the bloody work which they would look upon. " Henry Wadsworth Longfellow then says," Through all our history, to the last,

  • Time In Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five

    Much like money, time is a human construct. Human beings created the concept of time to organize the events of their lives in a continuous, chronological order. Kurt Vonnegut’s novel, Slaughterhouse Five, depicts a different interpretation of time and the organization of events in Billy Pilgrim’s life. Billy Pilgrim’s life is broken up into brief events, and Vonnegut writes the events out of chronological sequence, which adds a unique flair to an already distinctive work of literature. In addition, Vonnegut includes the Trafalmadore alien’s perception of time to further solidify the theme in his work.

    Conclusion: The mind is substantively different from the body and indeed matter in general. Because in this conception the mind is substantively distinct from the body it becomes plausible for us to doubt the intuitive connection between mind and body. Indeed there are many aspects of the external world that do not appear to have minds and yet appear none the less real in spite of this for example mountains, sticks or lamps, given this we can begin to rationalize that perhaps minds can exist without bodies, and we only lack the capacity to perceive them.

  • Plato's Theory Of Innate Knowledge

    1075 Words  | 5 Pages

    Innatism refers to a philosophical belief in innate ideas and knowledge which suggests that one is born with certain ideas and knowledge. This contradicts tabula rasa, an epistemological argument that the mind is a blank state at birth. In the history of philosophy, innatism has been widely discussed between rationalists and empiricist. While rationalists assert that certain ideas and knowledge pre-exist in the mind independently of experience, empiricists claim that all knowledge is gained through one’s experience. However, Plato’s story of a slave boy in Metaphysics and Epistemology, the study of neuron system, and research of infants’ representations of events support the argument of rationalists with convincing evidences; therefore, I agree

    This is referred to as the Notion. When self-consciousness “comes out of itself” it is called a process of Recognition; where self-consciousness loses itself, finds itself as another being, and supersedes the other self-consciousness because it sees it as its own self (Hegel, 1977, p.111). Ending the process is the play of Forces, where “they recognize themselves as mutually recognizing one another” (Hegel, 1977, p.112). This leads to two extremes of self-consciousness opposing one another with one recognizing, while the other is being recognized. (Hegel,
