My response to Engelmann (2008) will be based on several questions that will allow both its author and the general reader to determine whether the assumptions I make as an interpreter of this complex paper are congruent or incongruent with their own interpretations of the text. The interpretations by the writer, by any commentator, and the diverse interpretations of a general audience together with my own interpretations will, I hope, facilitate some fruitful 'comparative evaluations.' I articulate my inferences of the most dense part of the paper, namely the 'concrete immediate Consciousness and the developing absent outside.' My hope is to address Engelmann's question: "Am I in a better disposition to judge modern theories of consciousness?" The last section of my response spells out more personal comments to my all too brief and single encounter with Arno Engelmann. It is there that Arno Engelmann's fascinating statement "I am a citizen of the world" is addressed through its counterparts in my life.
我对恩格尔曼（2008年）的回应将基于几个问题，这些问题能让论文作者和普通读者判断，作为这篇复杂论文的阐释者，我的假设与他们自己对文本的解读是否一致。我希望作者、任何评论者的解读，以及普通读者的各种解读，再加上我自己的解读，能促成一些富有成效的“比较性评估”。我阐述了对论文最晦涩部分的推断，即“具体的当下意识与发展中的不在场外部”。我希望能回答恩格尔曼的问题：“我是否更有资格评判现代意识理论？”我回应的最后一部分阐述了我对与阿诺·恩格尔曼极为短暂的单次接触的更多个人看法。正是在那里，通过我生活中的类似经历探讨了阿诺·恩格尔曼那句迷人的话“我是世界公民”。
