The Phenomenon of Consciousness

Meer over het boek

The book explores the educational implications of human consciousness emergence. Part 1 defines this phenomenon by analyzing memory and language from individual and collective perspectives. Part 2 examines various domains of human existence where progress and regress occur. It offers a range of educational implications, from practical didactic suggestions to broad theoretical discussions. Aimed at a general audience—including teachers, students, and researchers in the humanities—it also targets scholars focused on human development and evolution, requiring no prior knowledge in linguistics, psychology, education theory, or philosophy. The text views consciousness as an evolutionary phenomenon but does not equate conscious processes with biological evolution. Instead, it presents consciousness emergence as a pivotal moment, shifting evolution from a struggle for survival to realms of cognition, creation, and coexistence. In this context, education aims to enhance the intensity of consciousness, ensuring humanity's progression rather than regression in its conscious development.
