The strange particularity of conscious is key to the development of one of the most basic indices of psychological maturity which is the sympathetic awareness of the experience of others, as it were the opposite of solipsism. It is a matter of grasping the equal particularity of others without mediation or sublation. This may be not only a cognitive and affective achievement but something touching on consciousness itself. This is readily acknowledged by ethics but is also subject to the pitfall of over-correction.
