I came across the following passage reading an English version of Nietzsche's The Gay Science:
Consciousness (Bewußtsein)[6] — Consciousness (Bewußtheit) is the latest development of the organic, and hence also its most unfinished and unrobust feature. [...]
[6] The usual German word for 'consciousness' is Bewußtsein (literally 'being-in-a-state-of-awareness-of' and this is the term Nietzsche uses in the title of this paragraph.
