August 1998 Presented at 'Consciousness Reframed II' and published in the proceedings (2,500 words) Abstract The current scientific framework for the investigation of consciousness is the end-result of the Western intellectual tradition. It is shown that this tradition can be re-examined in terms of the Hindu concept of jnani, and that this approach could form the basis of a first-person science of consciousness. Electronic arts practitioners are presented as those who carry out a systematic inquiry into the subjective, and are well-equipped to contribute to the debates on consciousness. Keywords: consciousness, philosophy, jnani, Hinduism, third-person science, first-person science. Comment (2/6/1998) Research for this paper has led to a new project: 'An alternative Intellectual History of the West'. |
