Consciousness Intricacy

Consciousness is a concept and term that has fascinated man for centuries. Philosophers, educators, physicians, and scientists have been working for years to explain and define the concept of consciousness. Although there are many explanations of what consciousness actually is, the descriptions are widely divergent and it is almost impossible to highlight one particular point of view and label it as valid for everyone.
