意識的歷史可能比金字塔更資淺The institute of art and ideas
在荷馬的《伊利亞德》中，我們極少見到表示「我」的原始希臘語詞彙，也幾乎看不到涉及內在思想或決策過程的內容。
在這篇頗具挑戰性的文章中，文化理論家布萊恩·J·麥克維（Brian J. McVeigh）指出，普林斯頓大學心理學家朱利安·傑恩斯（Julian Jaynes）的觀點是正確的——即荷馬時代的希臘人並不具備內在生活或自我意識。
值此傑恩斯的經典著作《意識的起源：二分心智的崩塌》（The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind）出版50週年之際，麥克維提出，古希臘人將神的聲音視為行動的驅動力，而他們確實不存在所謂的「內在生活」。
