[Ham] That we see the universe as an intelligently designed, orderly system indicates that we "make sense out of it", which is precisely what human reason is designed to do. When it doesn't make sense, something has gone awry with the main apparatus of reason, the brain or its ability to integrate sensory data. But the disoriented psychotic person maintains selfness, even if he loses all sense of time, space, or the knowledge of what objects and people are. He is still a conscious self capable of value-awareness.
Thanks for introducing me to Pinker, Platt, even though the views of Pinker and Priday hardly go together like two P's in a pod ;-) But can you be more specific regarding the primary subject/object division about which you seem to have some reservations? [Ron] Give P's a chance, Interesting, do you see this value sensability of being alive evidence of a soul of sorts or more a condition of any being aware, also, what is this criteria objectivly speaking of a being aware.
