Consciousness (2)

John Searle theory on consciousness is very interesting. His way of explaining consciousness is very different he believes that consciousness is a biological phenomenon. He says we think of consciousness as an ordinary biological history and should not be confused with self-consciousness. These are two different things according to searle, consciousness is biological while self-consciousness is about our minds and connecting to different things in life. Self-consciousness has to do with what we know as right and wrong, while consciousness is being aware of things around you. I don't agree so much with Searle and his theories about it but at some points in his lecture it makes sense to believe his theory as well. I do believe that self-consciousness is different then just regular consciousness because one of them helps us deal with life and all of the challenges thrown at us and the other makes us aware of our surroundings that involve life.
