Consciousness is for other people
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 18 (4):682-683 (1995)
Abstract
Gray has expanded his account of schizophrenia to explain consciousness as well. His theory explains neither phenomenon adequately because he treats individual minds in isolation. The primary function of consciousness is to permit high level interactions with other conscious beings. The key symptoms of schizophrenia reflect a failure of this mechanism.My notes
