Science and consciousness

My philosophical approach to the universe is skeptic. All the things are known through a never complete knowledge. Only the individual observer knows really for a moment what is true. But this truth becomes probabilistic when the present is gone. I call this individual truth "immediate-consciousness". I call mediate-consciousness the own knowledge in another human, or non-human, animal of part of his or her functioning. I call others-mediate-consciousness the animal’s parts capable of being studied. The study is done through consciousness indicators, one of them being the verbal report.
