Talk:Damasio's theory of consciousness

message: Unless anybody has real good arguments against this, I will merge this article with Protoself, but not sooner than 6/6. Lova Falk talk 16:21, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, I decided not to do this. Both protoself and core consciousness, and, by the way, extended consciousness should all be sections in a new article that might be called Damasio's theory of consciousness. I haven't read Damasio's book and don't really know enough of this theory to create this article. I'll also remove the tag. Lova Falk talk 12:49, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merger proposal 

message: I am working on the article currently titled 'Core Consciousness'. I plan to merge two other articles with this page, those articles being 'Protoself'(being the preconscious state) and 'Extended Consciousness'(the autobiographical self). I will expand upon these stubs with information I have collected from my references listed on my sandbox page. This article would then be inclusive of Damasio's threefold theory of consciousness. I would like to rename the article 'Damasio's Theory of Consciousness'. In addition to this, I plan to remove the current sections entitled 'Daniel Stern' and 'Physical Origins' as I do not feel they are relevant to the article.

replies: text: Hi Rachaelallen91! Before merging articles you need to ask for consensus within the community. This is done by putting merger templates on top of the articles. More details can be found at WP:Merging and on Help:Merging. It might seem complicated but it is not that hard. Give it a try and drop me a note if you have problems! Then you should wait for at least a week, and if there is consensus for merging, or if nobody protests, you can go ahead and merge. Good luck! Lova Falk talk 07:56, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, I now see my own merger proposal that I wrote three years ago. What do you think about my idea then to merge protoself, core consciousness, and extended consciousness into a new article that might be called Damasio's theory of consciousness?

text: Hey Lova Falk Thanks for the info.  I will propose the merge.  I like your idea.  I'm re-writing this article for a class project, in an attempt to improve upon the content and quality of the article.  I, too, thought it would be a better idea to merge these three articles into one, to provide a more comprehensive explanation of Damasio's theory. Rachaelallen91 (talk) 23:02, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

thread_title: Plans for Improvement

message: I put a cite needed template in regarding this statement: " Emotions are a collection of unconscious neural responses to qualia."  While I personally believe this statement is true, as far as I know from my reading of Damasio, he never uses the term "qualia".  Dennet for example notes this, but does seem to make the assertion Damasio is speaking of qualia.  For example, "Damasio sees that the only way to explain the presumptive qualia is, once again, to distribute their effects and powers through the body, instead of concentrating them in some imaginary dazzle in the eyes of the Cartesian homunculus."  | Dennet essay here: "Review of Damasio, Descartes' Error" 
"Qualia" does not appear in the Bosse citation for the paragraph.  |direct link to bosse pdf article here.- J JMesserly (talk) 21:03, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
