Poitevin, Dominique. "La conscience augmentée : perception et conscience numériques." Thesis, Rennes 1, 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020REN1S074.
Full textProteiform and dematerialized, the digital virtual object never stops interacting with our senses and our consciousness in a relationship that is also plural. Whether it is an object of perception by the senses (in virtual reality, for example), or social (in the intentional interactions it contains), consciousness maintains a relationship with the virtual object that oscillates between enriched perception and illusion. The virtual object serves indeed, at the same time, of improved reading of the world tending towards a better comprehension of what surrounds the perceiving consciousness and of denaturation of the real in favor of illusory false pretenses which on the contrary move the consciousness away from the reality . Consciousness is thus torn between two opposing phenomena and must, in this configuration, seek a way to identify the virtual object beyond the illusion that it generates or intentional readings it proposes. The digital virtual object then generates complex relationships from consciousness to reality, both in the aspects of individual and cognitive consciousness and in consciousness immersed in society, to the point of being able to cause a phenomenon of digital servitude

Full textConscience, the personnal faculty enabling to judge the morality of actions, aspires to autonomy. The existence of compulsive juridical norms sets limits to this autonomy, which implies that law renounces its competence and protects that competence. Law etablishies a liberty in religious and moral matters. This liberty first appeared in form of a general freedom granted to everyone and nowadays enjoys civil status. The law grants singular privileges: by instituting conscientious,it authorizes the individual to resist to a rule of law which is contrary to his conscience. Shouldn't the granting of such a privilege depend on the possible negative effect ot the conscientiou objections? the repercussions might be bearable if limited to a substition of debtors which protects the "rights" of those for whom the protected conscience was liable. But the law may exhibit a reservation if those repercussions mean sacrificing others. In the religious sphere the law sanctions the autonomy: full power is awarded to conscience by right of principle. Certain pressures on conscience may be admitted by law: as a protection, it lays down the heteronomy of minors; it grounds the legitimacy of certain pressures on the priority of certain other rights, a priority sometimes reinforced by obvious signs of will. Against unlawfull repressions, the law protects the conscience bu punishing the authors of these repressions, by granting amends and preventing injuries to conscience. In addition, the law protects the collective aspect of conscience and thus, the individual consciences. It may retreat b the collective norm to eventually protect what is specific of the group. But the law itself determines to what extent it then renounces its competence and also decides on solutions to an eventual conflict of norms. The legal status of conscience consists of the protection of an autonomy

Full textThis thesis examines Albert Camus’ work, both fictional and dramatic, in its reception of conscience’s primary concepts as introduced by the Greek tragedy. The point is to find out how these concepts are received, transformed and finally incorporated in Camus’ literary and philosophic world.Conscience meaning the knowledge that everyone has of himself (thumós), it aims at a knowledge supposed to be shared with the others. Around the desire of existence therefore, feelings of unity and coherence, autonomy and heteronomy set up. Between introspection on one hand and opening to the world on the other, the conscience figures as a key theme for both tragic and camusian reflection. At the heart of enduring oppositions, the person must transform Destiny’s and Absurd’s blow into a productive range: thus, Requisition and Rebellion trace the way to go in order to be and remain human. From tragic « self » affirmation to the « human vocation » required by the author, conscience and identity interact and indicate the individual as the creator of meaning. Through Greek tragedy’s essential principles, Camus aims thereby at an identity which, aware of its contradictions, its rights and duties, remains consistent: the rebel’s identity

Full textBeyond the explanation of the islamic revolution in 1979 by the sociological and economical structures of iranian society and the objectives class relations which characterize it, our intention is to do a comprehensive analysis of this revolution. We want to know the meaning producted by the agents about their owr practices and to ask the problem of revolutionary conscience in term of difference of stakes and interests between the political field and religious field. The question of the production ( in the religious field) and the problem of the reception (in the social field) of the religious message lead us directly to be interested in the categories of perception which are the origins of the revolutionary opinions and practices. So, these are definited by the objective meaning, determining and "transcendant", wich producte of sociological explanation and by the meaning (socialy determined) which the agents producted about their own practices

Full textThis work aims to assess the contribution of quantum physics to the understanding of the phenomenon ofconsciousness. The "classical" models of consciousness cannat deal with two important questions: (a) thesynchronisation of distant parts of the brain which seems necessary to the construction of conscious percepts;(b) the question of the explanatory gap that exists between subjective experience, which is a private feeling, andthe description of its neurophysiological correlates in the language of science, at the third persan. The quantumalternatives of current models of consciousness are systematically exposed. Vitiello's and Freeman's "dissipativemadel of the brain" seem to corroborate experimental data and could thus contribute to solve question (a). Thismadel appeals to a fundamental property of quantum field theory according to which a spontaneous symmetrybreaking in a physical system (as it happens, the breaking of the rotational symmetry of dipolar molecules of thebrain) gives rise to a collective dynamics for this system. The models, relevant to the neutra! monism conception,that have been developed by Bohm and Hiley and, more recently, by Atmanspacher and by Primas use quantumtheory for its expressive power (concepts of complementarity and entanglement) to build a unifyingrepresentation of the phenomenon of consciousness. They lead to the dissolution of the question (b) of theexplanatory gap. ln the end, we suggest to extend this mode of representation and to apply it, more generally, tothe psychosomatic domain

Full textThis work is a selective review of consciousness and attention studies over the last century. Itfocuses primarily on Ned Block’s ‘overflow thesis’. I argue against Block, by showing thatattention is a constitutive component of phenomenal consciousness: I defend a ‘dependency thesis’regarding attention and consciousness. This thesis is vindicated by a careful examination of Block’sempirical data, and by a criticism of his conception of content. I also tackle the issue of‘phenomenal salience’ - one of attention’s most typical effects - and provide a representationalaccount of this phenomenon: focal attention enhances the resolution of conscious content, therebylinking the phenomenal difference to a representational difference: focusing on an aspect of aperceptual scene changes what is consciously represented. This work is a first step in naturalizingthe mind; it relies heavily on the contributions of cognitive science to the study of consciousness.According to the accounts I favor, manipulations of consciousness are manipulations of attention

Full textThis work illustrates a version of the self-representational theory of consciousness. If one accepts on the one hand the notion of mental states that have a given content - conscious or unconscious - and on the other hand the plausible hypothesis that the content of all mental states consists in a representation, then the problem of the manifestation of consciousness for (the content of) SOME states becomes intelligible within this frame. This problem can be understood as the research of the representational structure which gives rise to this manifestation. For some authors ( Fred Dretske, Michael Tye, and others) certain particular conditions in the direct representation of the object are sufficient, for others (particularly David Rosenthal) a meta-representation is necessary, under given conditions. However neither of those structures results sufficient to justify the demarcation between conscious and unconscious states and to characterize the phenomenality of consciousness. If one then takes seriously into account the strong intuition of self-referentiality of consciousness (already present in Aristotle - following some interpretations -, taken up again by Brentano, Sartre, and lately by Uriah Kriegel and several others) one is conducted to propose a self-representational structure for conscious mental states which involves a dual conscious intentionality targeting the object and itself at the same time. The problems of the meta-representational theory are thus resolved, but it remains to be shown that this scheme is intelligible, that the risk of infinite regress of the representing capacity of consciousness does not exist, and that strong intuitions are thus acknowledged : such as the distinction in the conscious field between foreground and background, and the link between background, or marginal consciousness, and self consciousness. Within the self-representational view, this link originates from the fact that marginal consciousness is the consciousness of the consciousness of the object, and qualifies itself as subjective consciousness, that is to say, consciousness "for me" of the object. Self consciousness is then constructed from the episodes of subjective consciousness. The relationship between conscious mental representational structures and the spatio-temporal neuronal configurations which produce them in the brain, is outside the domain of the present work, but it is necessarily present in the background, and it is considered when useful for the argument

Full textResearch on consciousness develops nowadays in various fields and disciplines. Some, in this area, bear millenary knowledge, such as oriental mystic and shamanic traditions of central america. Others bear the question within themselves, wich appears more or less cleary, depending on periods and trends : it is the case for philosophy and psychology. Others, at last, meet, this problem at the end of a trajectory which seemed to have kept them away from it for ever - at lleast, moment arily- such is the exemplary case of astrophysics and quantic physics. In what problems do these questions take their roots ? what are the hypothesis. The assertions which drive searchers in each discipline to put on consciousness a singular look, frequently exclusive, and expressing hard to reveal paradigmatic certitudes ? this work is an approach of consciousness through the themes of mysticism religious and magical practises, astro- physics, quantic physics. Philosophy, neuropsychology, psychology, psychotherapy and humanist psychology. It includes a theoritical study led through french literature, and gives place to conclusions an hypothesis of the most recent and advanced investigations. It leans on a pratical experience, pursued in the field of the techniques of the human psyche, and non ordinary states of consciousness. It opens up on propositions concerning the general working of human psychism which can be included in the research on dreams and in a more general way in the area of psychotherapy and "personal development"

Full textConsciousness can be defined as the knowledge of one’s existence and the outer world. By extension, it is someone’s clear mental picture of an actual situation and the ability of judging the morality of such a situation is called conscience. When the outer world is the work environment and when the actual situations to deal with are work-related, what could be the role of consciousness and conscience? Could they interfere with work duties or the conduct of good industrial relations? The purpose of this thesis is to study the “issues of conscience” within the corporation, in a broad sense, through the relevant stakeholders’ perspectives – including employers, administrative authorities, workers, trade unions, or even staff representatives – in order to know when individual and collective consciousness and conscience can have a legal impact. One should ask oneself about the existence of a statutory regime for those “issues of conscience” in domestic, comparative and international laws. Some manifestations of consciousness and conscience are already well known, such as whistleblowing or conscience clauses, but some others still need to be provided with a legal framework

Full textThis research tries, in the field of Husserl's phenomenology, to read the indian vedantic analysis of consciousness. The thory of the three states of consclousness, with appears in the fondamental texts of Vedânta, is the guide line of this inquiry. Deep sleep, the dreaming state, and the waking state have their own characeritics. Each of them establishes the relation of the subjet with the object. The author shows, in his analysis, the relationship between this consclousness and consciousnes of the self. He considers the reflexive model of conscousness and sees its interpretation in the context of the vedantic analysis of the three states. Huserl's thesis of intentionality is considered in the statue of awareness. Awareness, is only relative to the object-conscousness, but supreme state of allertness is only related to subject-conscousness. Ego appears only in the waking state of consciousness, he colapses on himself in the sleep state of conssciousness. The transcendantal value of subject pertain to a forth state of consciousness: samadhi. Samadhi is pure consciousness, or state of pure beeing. Consciousnee is already established in himself, self-referal. This works can be interpretated as a comaprative study between east and west philosophy and also a meeting point of spirituality and phenomenology

Full textPublic education in the United States has seen many changes over the years. Some of those changes came in response to what are now recognized as clear problems with religious liberty in the common education system adopted in the mid 1800's. This dissertation reviews past and current ideas related to religious liberty and the larger issue of liberty of conscience (Nussbaum, 2008) in education and pursues a research question by considering past and current issues. Does a system of general, mass education necessarily infringe upon students' liberty of conscience? This question is pursued following a Deweyan framework of philosophy of education wherein a "felt difficulty" is identified, information is gathered to apply to the difficulty, and possible solutions to problems identified (Dewey, 1938).
I begin with a discussion of liberty of conscience and a discussion of some of the conflicts included in a system of mass education. This establishes the structure of the difficulty, or problem. The history of the public education system in the United States is reviewed with a focus on the common education system adapted in the 1830's along with relevant issues related to religious intolerance. Improvements in the respect for religious diversity applied to that system over time and improvements proposed but not yet fully implemented are discussed. Ideas from religious intolerance literature is introduced to add insight and expose the larger issue of liberty of conscience including how those ideas can be applied to educational systems. The process of religious intolerance (Corrigan & Neal, 2010) is developed into an architecture of religious intolerance that can assist with identifying this type of intolerance in educational settings.
I argue that while many of the strongest issues of religious intolerance in public education have been resolved, many problems still remain. I will also argue that the intolerance is not limited to religious intolerance but includes intolerance for ideas stemming from many different epistemic foundations. This will lead to a consideration of an idea I have labeled as epistemic intolerance. These arguments support an answer to the research question, which is that a system of general, mass education does necessarily infringe on students' liberty of conscience if one or more cultural majorities centrally control that system of education.

Zander, Ulrike. "Conscience nationale et identité en Martinique." Paris, EHESS, 2010. http://www.theses.fr/2010EHES0363.
Full textMartinique has become an overseas department in 1946. The limits of this political status have been causing from the 1950s on real disillusionment, leading to the emergence of separatist movements. Since then, the status issue has been a prevailing matter of local politics, without really inflaming a large proportion of the population. At the same, separatists have been the main protagonists of an important promotion of Creole culture. Taking this observation as its starting point, this thesis examines the following question: does national consciousness exist among the population? If yes, what is the expression of this consciousness? By questioning the dialectic link between culture and politics, one might suppose that the concepts of "nation" and "national consciousness" are not necessarily bound to political projects of independance, but that they first of all have cultural foundations before having political ones. Consequently, national consciousness might be separate from the demand for political independence and thus separate from nationalism. In Martinique, many people feel that they belong to a community of culture and history and this national consciousness has been aroused by the nationalists. However, this doesn't mean that the "people" subscribes to their political objectives. Finally, there is a double-way quest for assimilation on the one hand and emancipation on the other, expressing itself by the claim for the recognition of complete equality as well as difference
