There is no exposition of a person, no soul. We are animals with the ability to reason. And while this seems like we should apply some type of "uniqueness" to our species, we really shouldn't. We have no more of a "being" than a squirrel, or that stop sign. |
Zetherin,
I would say, at least one could make a distinction between life as being and that of inanimate being, as experience, we are the consciousness of the world. I however agree, we are not terriably unique in this ability to experience the world, and we do not stand on the top of some evolutionary ladder, king of the hill.
