J. G. Bennett Quote


You must understand that the apparatus for self-remembering is even more extraordinary than the physical apparatuses. How could one ever suppose that some kind of animal could arise on earth that is able to remember itself? And what's more, not being able to remember itself because it is automatically made so, as perhaps angels are, but that can find out how to produce a state of self-remembering through its own voluntary efforts. Here again, a special apparatus is needed to make this possible.
