Also means
unconsciousness (rare)
Usage Note
Inconscience most often means reckless disregard rather than the medical state of being unconscious (which is perte de connaissance or inconscience in a medical context). The phrase d'une inconscience totale captures wilful irresponsibility; the adjective inconscient means both 'reckless' and 'unconscious'.
Examples
"Son inconscience met tout le monde en danger."
Natural Translation
His recklessness puts everyone in danger.
