Is There a Theory of Consciousness?
I think it's there are very few areas in science where the accepted explanation is totally a brute fact, which just has to be accepted because it is the only explanation that works. The hope is that as we progress beyond f, you like, just brute correllates of conscious states towards accounts that provide more satisfying bridges between mechanism and phenomenology. And i've never heard a description of consciousness of the sort that we will get to, like integrated information,. You know, tanony's phrase, that unpacks it any more than that.
