The death of analytic philosophy and the birth of consciousness
Consciousness, which is experience by the first person singular,
is by definition outside of the scope of analytic philosophy, which
is limited to be able to only deal in descriptions of experience.
Definition of ANALYTIC PHILOSOPHY
"a philosophical movement that seeks the solution of
philosophical problems
in the analysis of propositions or sentences ?alled also
philosophical analysis
compare ordinary-language philosophy. "
Analytic (British) philosophy (Bertrand Russell, Anthony Flew.
etc.)
limits philosophy to word and logic puzzles and thus legitimizes
atheism and materialism. This has given rise to a semi-religious
cult or atheism and materialism that cannot tell us about
experiential human issues such as consciousness, religion, and
true ai.
Or meaningful issues such as ethics or aesthetics.
However, continental philosophy and Indian philosophy can.
(Leibniz, Kant, Indian philosophers).
Analytical philosophy can do that too. For contingent reasons,
analytical philosophers rarely do that, nor do logicians do that. But
they can, and should, and fortunately, computer science makes this
utterly clear, by showing that machines confronted with themselves
cannot avoid the (meta)description of personal first person features
which provably admit no description at all.
