| Chalmers, D.J. On the Search for the Neural Correlate of Consciousnes Toward a Science of Consciousness II 1998 [html] |
| I'm going to talk about one aspect of the role that neuroscience plays in the search for a theory of consciousness. Whether or not neuroscience can solve all the problems of consciousness singlehandedly, there is no question that it has a major role to play. We've seen at this conference that there's a vast amount of progress in neurobiological research, and that much of it is clearly bearing on the problems of consciousness. But the conceptual foundations of this sort of research are only beginning to be laid. So I will look at some of the things that are going on from a philosopher's perspective and will see if there's anything helpful to say about these foundations. |
