#Sentience
13th April 2020 at 3:11am
"Sentience comes before consciousness." Where does sentience comes from? It's not a soul-like substance that is somehow added to the physical world, a dualists think. Nor is it something that pervades all of nature, as panpsychists believe. Sentience is brought into being somehow from the evolution of sensing and acting; it involves being a living system with a point of view on the world around it."
