| Self-awareness is the state in which humans live their lives, in which they are able to think and be aware of the them that is doing the thinking. It is to be aware of oneself as an individual personality or entity. This goes beyond simple instinct found in other animals, and implies a deeper level of abstract thought (because one is thinking about the mind/what some might call soul, which is intangible).
It is the ability to model your own mind. |
