Consciousness is a tricky concept‚ both in its definition and its attribution. Here‚ “consciousness” refers to a cognitive process involving self-awareness and wakefulness; this paper will be specifically concerned with self-awareness‚ which seems to be a minimum requirement of conscious experience. I propose that the evolutionary history of consciousness likely began in large-bodied‚ arboreal apes with the development of a bodily self-awareness and sense of personal agency‚ allowing them to successfully

In Thomas Nagel’s paper he points out some of the problems brought on by consciousness in the mind-body problem and uses ‘subjective character of experience’ in arguing his stance against physicalism. The usual physicalist would explain that the mind-body problem is that‚ the mind is the brain. If mental states are physical states
