Embodiment

Of all the concepts that A.s.a. H. learns it is often difficult to separate those which refer solely to an external inanimate world* from those that refer to A.s.a. itself.** A.s.a. sees itself very much as a part of the world and its processes.

These unique detailed ways in which you are a part of the world are what distinguish you from other agents (including bats***).

** See, for example, my blog of 1 January 2017.
*** i.e., see Thomas Nagel’s October 1974 paper in The Philosophical Review.
