It wasn't conscious, but I guess that one book is the reaction to the other. The first is so imprisoned in a male point-of-view, and the second is a point-of-view that can go anywhere it wants.

In Socrates' thought the two marks of individual self-consciousness appear; it is practical and it is social.

My unconscious knows more about the consciousness of the psychologist than his consciousness knows about my unconscious.

Jesus Christ is infinitely more than a great teacher and philosopher.

What I always liked about Socrates was his insistence on questioning things for the sake of reaching some sort of clarity - even if it is only clarity about the gaps in our knowledge.

The intellect of the wise is like glass; it admits the light of heaven and reflects it.

Every aspect of our lives plays out in two versions: one conscious, which we are constantly aware of, and the other unconscious, which remains hidden from us.

Jesus was a human being, bound by history and the natural world; an extraordinary man, to be sure, but still a man.

In my definition of consciousness, consciousness is the same thing as life. What wisdom traditions also call spirit.

Anyway, there is a lot of really interesting work going on in the neuroscience and psychology of consciousness, and I would love to see philosophers become more closely involved with this.
