Technical The Caldron of Consciousness: Motivation, Affect and Self-Organization - An Anthology
Posted on 2010-04-15
|  |
More Natika Newton, Ralph D. Ellis, "The Caldron of Consciousness: Motivation, Affect and Self-Organization - An Anthology" Metaphors are indicative of what the thinking process is after. The classic image of the mind, at least in the empiricist tradition, was that of a slate or a mirror, which passively records or reflects nature. The Cartesian idea of the theater is still in vogue, and jibes with the more general commonsense image of the mind as a container of thoughts, constantly scrutinized by the mind's eye. But when consciousness comes to be described as a caldron (kettle, boiler; from the Latin caldarium), well, something hot must be at the left (notice the metaphor) of attention. The target, of course, is emotion, with its cousin, motivation. The trouble is that emotion, motivation, and consciousness are a bit like rock, paper, and scissors: you can get emotion and motivation without consciousness, and motivation without emotion or consciousness. For cold cognitivists, there can be consciousness without emotion or motivation, and conscious states of mind are just caused by states of the world without further ado. Not so, according to several contributors to this rich and stimulating collection: there is no such thing, we are told, as consciousness without emotion or motivation. The idea is certainly worth considering although it is not new: it has in fact been spreading like a fire in the last decade or so.
