The importance of being precise! Now I agree with you, although I did disagree with your answer to Torgny. BTW distinguishing subjective awareness and consciousness is a 1004-fallacy ... at this stage. Also, to say that consciousness exists as a description could be misleading. It could exist as a phenomenon. I don't believe that people in this list would take consciousness as a primary reality, except perhaps those who singles out the third "universal soul" hypostasis (the first person, alias the one described by Bp & p in the lobian interview) like George Levy, David, etc. With comp neither matter nor mind can be taken as primitive or primary reality.
