Ķmyndašu žér aš mannvera svķfi

ķ herbergi.  Ekkert įreiti.  Myrkur, ekkert hljóš, engin snerting.  Enginn vitneskja um lķkamann.  Nįkvęmlega ekkert įreiti.  Zero.

Segjum aš manneskjan hafi veriš sköpuš svona.  Myndi hśn vera fęr um aš hugsa ? Og žį hvaš ? Myndi fljótandi manneskjan gera sér grein fyrir nokkrum hlut ?

Svar: Jį. Hśn myndi gera sér grein fyrir eigin verund.  Ergo, sjįlfiš er ekki byggt į tengslum viš efnslega hluti og sįlin er óhįš bśstaš sķnum.

Snilld.  (Aš mķnu įliti)

Innspķraš af hugsanatilraun Ibn Seena (eša eiginlega bara endursögn į tilraun hans) sem er hér nokkurn vegin į ensku: (Og ég er alveg sammįla honum)

Imagine, a man floating in a room with zero sensory input, no sound, no gravity, no sensation of any kind, floating in complete darkness, no sensation even of his own body because no part of his body touches any other part — say the man was created this way, would he be capable of thought? Can the human mind have thoughts without any external sensory input? If so, what would this man be thinking? Would the floating man have awareness of anything?"

Avicenna answers: "Yes, even though the man has no awareness of his environment, or anything external to himself, he would at least be aware of his own existence."
