I find "self awareness" to be a much more fundamental subject than intelligence, in respects to what it means to be a "thinking" entity (in the human sense). Also, it is pressumably even harder to define.
It seems reasonable to assume that a certain degree of intelligence would be needed to achive "self awareness".
Does anyone know whether (-and if so, where) this concept has been discussed from a not-too-philosofical (more technical) point of view? -And have any Turing-like test been divised to determine degrees of "self awareness"/consiousness?
