Definition(s)

  • Cognitive thought processes that arise from consciousness are depicted as being an exclusive human characteristic. Reflected in the metaphysical views from Aristotle (384–322 BCE) to Rene Descartes (1596–1650), the philosophical implications for our species result in an unbridgeable chasm between our species and the rest of the animal kingdom.
