In English language it is used as a noun. Check out a dictionary: *consciousness* noun <https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/noun> https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/consciousness > Intelligence is what a brain does not what a brain is, and because > Darwinian Evolution is almost certainly correct, consciousness must be an > inevitable byproduct of intelligence, therefore "consciousness" is not a > noun, it's a word that describes what a noun (in this case the brain) does, > in other words consciousness is an adjective. > You mean a verb then, no? Verbs say what something does. Anyway, words like "action" and "process" are nouns too. "Conscious" is an adjective. If you mean to say that consciousness is a process, you are probably right. Without certain processes in the brain there wouldn't be much consciousness. So consciousness is a spatiotemporal object. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
