Talk:Consciousness Studies/The Conflict

About the Subject-Object paradox section. When I did a search the first result for "Subject-Object paradox" was this page. I'm very suspicious of this section since:

1- It does not seem paradoxical that something could be an object and a subject at the same time ( why are they exclusive properties?) 2- It may well constitute original research as presented. 3- It seems fairly obscure.


 * It is a well known route into discussions of consciousness. Self consciousness is circular: if I am conscious of me then I am conscious of me being conscious of me then.... The term "subject-object" paradox used here has 41 hits on google. There are hardly any words in the section by the authors so it cannot really constitute original research! The paradox, or circularity, of self consciousness is not obscure. The "homunculus paradox" has only 10 hits on google but is universally known (why only 10 hits? - seems odd?).
