This is an old revision of the document!


I will figure out how to hide this page later, or find a better way for us to share notes. - MK

Suggestions for additional content/Potential topics to add:

H1
1. The development of consciousness in children (Zelazo, etc.). Invite Bill Rowe?
2. Studies of children raised without language.
3. What other content can we add here?

H2.
1. Add idols, etc.
2. Should we add modern evidence here, such as auditory hallucinations in normals, children, poets, command hallucinations?
3. Evidence from dreams: from bicameral to conscious.
4. I think we need to separate a description of what bicameral mentality is from the evidence that supports it, under different sections.

Questions/comments:

1. I think Preconscious Hypostases (p. 259), currently under H1, should be moved to H3, as this has more to do with the dating of the development of consciousness than the relationship of consciousness to language.

2. I think also under H3 we need to separate the evidence for dating the transition from bicameral mentality to consciousness (H3) from the evidence for the causes of the breakdown of bicameral mentality.
