amazing note from Dewey! "meaning 5 begs as many metaphysical problems as is likely ever to be the privilege of any one word"

I hardly think that any one who is aware of the ambiguous senses in which the term consciousness is habitually used in philosophical discussions and of the misunderstandings that result, possibly of one's self and certainly of others, will regard the foregoing as a merely linguistic contribution. It is no part of my present intention to note the implied philosophical bearings, save to suggest that meaning 5 begs as many metaphysical problems as is likely ever to be the privilege of any one word; that considerations based exclusively on 4 are not likely to be conclusive against positions that have 3 especially in mind, and vice versa; and that 6 seems to give the sense which underlies the psychological use of the term and to give (either by itself or in connection with 3) a standpoint from which the psychological sense can be kept free from the logical implications of the `awareness' problem in general, and from the metaphysics of 5. To take the term `by itself' is perhaps more appropriate for `structural' psychology, while to take it in connection with a person or agent (sense 3) is appropriate for `functional' psychology. But in the latter case, it should be understood that `consciousness' means not a stuff, nor an entity by itself, but is short for conscious animal or agent,-for something which is conscious.

In making these suggestions I do not mean to indicate a belief that the different senses have no common qualities or appropriate cross-references. On the contrary, I believe that the connection of the logical meaning of `awareness' with the facts involved empirically and practically in the existence of a certain sort of agent (especially as the latter itself becomes the subject-matter of natural science) determines one of the most real problems of present philosophy. But in discussing these problems nothing but good could come from stating explicitly the prima facie or immediate denotation of the terms used.

I bet the Prowse one is decent but that’s for his small diocese more than mass consumption

“that our sinful bodies may be made clean by his body, and our souls washed through his most precious blood” is quite useful to have top of mind going up to receive

sure I’ve said this before but I adopted it devotionally via the ordinariate and will read it in the pew if there’s time
