This is a piece of theoretical research that means to give an account of the different ways in which conscience has been conceptualized. Throughout the text, conscience emerges as a fundamental topic in the exploration of human mental life. Different approaches to conscience from physicalism and computationalism are portrayed; and the conception of conscience as a matter of attention and wakefulness is argued against. Finally, the need to regain the value of our subjective experience, in that it facilitates the understanding of problems of identity and of mystical phenomena that go beyond the limits of what an attentional approach to conscience can grasp. Keywords: awareness, wakefulness, attention, identity, mystical experiences. |
