Consciousness is for sharing

Consciousness is for sharing Abstract I welcome the idea that consciousness, rather than being private, has a crucial role in understanding other minds. However, I believe that the critical mechanism underlying consciousness is meta-cognition; the ability to reflect upon and report mental states, whether our own or those of others. This allows us to share experiences and create a more accurate picture of the world. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Cognitive Neuroscience Taylor & Francis

Abstract

Abstract I welcome the idea that consciousness, rather than being private, has a crucial role in understanding other minds. However, I believe that the critical mechanism underlying consciousness is meta-cognition; the ability to reflect upon and report mental states, whether our own or those of others. This allows us to share experiences and create a more accurate picture of the world.
