The Hard Problem of Consciousness | Springer Nature Link link.springer.com 2 facts
quote“Even in the science of the mind, much progress has been made. Recent work in cognitive science and neuroscience is leading us to a better understanding of human behavior and of the processes that drive it. We do not have many detailed theories of cognition, to be sure, but there are few problems of principle; the details cannot be too far off. But consciousness is as perplexing as it ever was. It still seems utterly mysterious that the causation of behavior should be accompanied by conscious experience. We do not just lack a detailed theory; we are in the dark about what a theory of consciousness would even look like. […] We are entirely in the dark about how it fits into the natural order. This means that a correct theory of consciousness is likely to affect our conception of the universe more profoundly than any other new scientific development. Consciousness is both fundamental and unexplained; this makes for a potent cocktail”
claimDavid Chalmers argues that while cognitive science and neuroscience have made progress in understanding human behavior, consciousness remains mysterious and researchers lack a theoretical framework for what a theory of consciousness would look like.
