Abstract

[The nature of consciousness is difficult or impossible to explain, though everybody is sure he or she has it. Its study is a current “hot topic” that is approached from various directions. In earlier work, special attention was given to self-reference, the aspect of consciousness that allows an intelligent entity to be aware of itself. It is one of a number of characteristics that have been advanced as criteria distinguishing living from machine intelligence.]
