Consciousness: Consciousness Studies
built 657 days ago
Some theorists hold that phenomenal consciousness poses an explanatory gap. Colin McGinn believes that the problem cannot be solved, and Chalmers criticizes purely physical accounts of mental experiences based on the idea that philosophical zombies are logically possible and supports property dualism. But others have proposed scientific theories to explain the explanatory gap, such as Quantum mind, space-time theories of consciousness, and Electromagnetic theories of consciousness to explain the correspondence between brain activity and experience. As yet there is little evidence from brain studies to support these theories.
There is much evidence -- from genetic predispositions of behavior and personality, from brain injury studies, from brain imaging of healthy people -- that consciousness is naturalistic now. A natural origin would not matter much beyond that.
