| If mind was matter and every mental act a mechanical resultant of neutral states,of what use is consciousness?
"What use is consciousness"
Do you presume everything has a purpose? We assign purpose, none is inherent or god-given.
Consciousness is a concept we use to describe our ability to generate and manipulate abstract concepts. All animals can do this to some extent... some are more intellectually evolved than others.
It is an illusion that your consciousness is something existent in its own right... that illusion has led to concepts like souls, or even minds. |
