The Philosophy of Self, Consciousness and Language

Abstract: A 4 page overview of this complex philosophical arena. Questions regarding the nature of human consciousness and how it relates to cognitive unconsciousness are inextricably tied to questions of consciousness and unconsciousness in animals. So too are questions regarding the nature of human speech tied up in questions of whether animals have the capacity for language when, admittedly they have nothing like human syntactic speech. Modern philosophers have even occupied themselves with the question of how human behavior differs from that of intelligent machines such as computers and robots. Bibliography lists 1 source.
