heehee, I knew what you meant before, I'm just being a ****disturber :-p.
I think the term you were looking for is concious. "...without being concious of their senses." I almost put in cognizant instead of concious, but cognition includes all the unconcious stuff. Is sentience the same as conciousness? Can one be sentient without being concious, or concious without being sentient? |

Well, yeah, I imagine you can because you are still sentient without being awake. I believe creatures we consider to have a lack of anything other than hunter-gathering mentalities are still sentient, like ants or something. Don't we? I really don't know now that I pose the question.

I think it's sorta the tree falling in the woods thing. If we're sentient as we sleep, but we're never concious about it, does it matter that that existence is? I've always separated these 2 things myself, but I dunno anymore.
If one feels without knowing that one feels, do they actually feel? Can you have something know, but not feel? Conciousness (as everything in this universe) is something which exists in time. Is sentience just a pinpoint's drop of time of conciousness, unconnected to the following drop of time? |
