I guess my view of consciousness is different -- all living beings having consciousness, but perhaps not specifically in the form of the human mind or intellect.
These are ancient ideas. Maybe this century will validate some of those.
I know that word, and it is one way of describing what I was talking about, but it is not what I meant. My actual worldview is a superset of "all living beings are conscious". For example, I don't necessarily think that consciousness emerges from biology or complex interaction of matter.
Umwelt is a good step outside of anthropocentric view of consciousness and the world though.
Neither I believe that consciousness emerges from biology or other things. I believe it is the other way around: it is from consciousness that emerges everything.
Sadly, we somehow confuse consciousness with the identity or individuality (ego). I believe the ego is just one modality (or subset) of consciousness.
These are ancient ideas. Maybe this century will validate some of those.
