Trying to simplify my Consciousness hypothesis
#73
RE: Trying to simplify my Consciousness hypothesis
@Khemikal. Feel free to mock me for this, but the more I read, the more I'm finding Berkeley's arguments oddly compelling... though granted not so much (yet) in the foundational First Dialogue as in the latter ones that build on it, and granted again, part of the appeal is emotional in the sense that the way he (as the character Philonous) is giving the sceptic Hylas a right bollocking, feels oddly familiar... I can almost see myself as Hylas... as a sceptic in both senses of the word... though that's probably what Berkeley was aiming for.
