dmb says: Didn't mean to leave that impression and I have said many times that James takes consciousness to be a process rather than a thing or an entity. It's on the Oxford DVD, in fact.
Andre: Correct dmb, as usual: 'To deny plumply that 'consciousness' exists seems so absurd on the face of it-for undeniably 'thoughts' do exist- that I fear some readers will follow me no farther. Let me then immediately explain that I mean only to deny that the word stands for an entity, but to insist most emphatically that it does stand for a function...that function is knowing'.(Essays in Radical Empiricism, William James).
