Consciousness

Consciousness is the mental state of being awake and aware of one’s self and/or one’s surroundings. It is the condition of being able to experience a sensation of awareness of the self and/or the environment. This issue deals with the mind and its relationship to the physical brain. Is the mind a property of the physical brain, or is it something different?
