People interested in pursuing the phenomenon of consciousness in humans (which is, I believe the subject of the above response) might be interested in reading _The_Origin_of_Consciousness_in_the_Breakdown_of_the_Bicameral_ Mind by Julian Jaynes. Although his theories are far from widely accepted, it is a beautifully written book and a challenging one in that your own level of consciousness may come under question. |---------------------------------------------------------------------------| |sarah%mirror.uucp@cca Sarah Griffith | |sarah%mirror.uucp@harvard An it harm none, | |sarah%mirror@mit-eddie Do what ye will. | |sarah.mirror@tmc.com (617) 864-7231 | |---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
