The Hard Problem is Mainly Hard Work

Bernard J Baars. Cogn Neurosci. 2021 Jan-Jan.

Abstract

Doerig et al. point out that there is now a great deal of evidence bearing directly on our understanding of consciousness. However, they argue that the multiplicity of theories suggest that we have a 'lack of stringent criteria specifying how empirical data constrains ToCs.'

Keywords: Biology of consciousness; Consciousness science; David Chalmers; Global Workspace Theory; Hard Problem; Qualia.
