Abstract:
It is natural to hope that an explanation of consciousness
might be a physical explanation. Physical explanations have had
extraordinary success elsewhere in science. In biology, chemistry,
geology, physiology, and even in aspects of psychology, we have
found that physical analyses can account for all sorts of phenomena
in a reasonably complete and satisfying way. Given this track
record, one might well expect that a physical explanation of
consciousness is on its way. And indeed, investigation of the
neurophysiological basis of consciousness has already yielded many
insights into the phenomenon.
