Sentences with phrase «unified subjective experience»

The structure of the human brain gives rise to unified subjective experience.

Not exact matches

There are levels of subjective experience which intervene between the togetherness of organic structures and the togetherness of unified focal attention.

Second, there are basically two organic forms: the vegetative and the animate, the lower of which manifests a type of «collective» individuality, («a tree is a democracy,» as Whitehead is fond of saying); and the higher animate form, in which the whole manifests a centrally unified field of experience wherein «subjective» individuality is the norm.

Given this understanding of Whitehead's philosophy, we can conceive of the soul occupying generally the region of the brain, receiving the causal efficacy of every portion of the brain at once, and experiencing its own synthesis of all these influences in its own unified subjective immediacy.
