bewusstwerdung
Bewusstwerdung is a German term meaning the process of becoming conscious or of gaining awareness. The word is formed from bewusst (conscious, aware) and -werdung (forming, becoming), and is used across German-speaking intellectual contexts to denote the development or emergence of awareness in individuals or groups. In philosophy and psychology, bewusstwerdung describes the gradual emergence of self-awareness or conscious access to previously unconscious mental states. It can refer to metacognitive insight, such as realizing one's own beliefs, motives, or emotional states, as well as to social or moral awareness, including recognition of others' perspectives or normative understandings.
In philosophy, the term is encountered in discussions of subjectivity, self-formation, and the phenomenology of consciousness.
In spiritual and cultural contexts, bewusstwerdung is sometimes used to denote awakening to a higher or transcendent
