This theory is an interdisciplinary approach to understanding and explaining the phenomenology of consciousness and the self. This theory has two core contents, the phenomenal self-model (PSM) and the phenomenal model of the intentionality relation (PMIR). [1]
Higher-order theories of consciousness postulate that consciousness consists in perceptions or thoughts about first-order mental states. [1] [2] [3] In particular, phenomenal consciousness is thought to be a higher-order representation of perceptual or quasi-perceptual contents, such as visual images.
Phenomenal Judgements: A theory of consciousness should be able to dispel epiphenominalism [note 7] [16] without resorting to interactionism (a view which Chalmers rejects). [ 17 ] The Double-Aspect Principle : Some information must be realised both physically and phenomenologically (i.e., realised both in the mind and brain).
Ned Block argued that discussions on consciousness often failed to properly distinguish phenomenal (P-consciousness) from access (A-consciousness), though these terms had been used before Block. [44] P-consciousness, according to Block, is raw experience: it is moving, colored forms, sounds, sensations, emotions and feelings with our bodies and ...
The computational theory of mind asserts that not only cognition, but also phenomenal consciousness or qualia, are computational. While the computation system is realized by neurons rather than electronics, in theory it would be possible for artificial intelligence to be conscious.
Sometimes depicted as the "science of experience," the phenomenological method, rooted in intentionality, represents an alternative to the representational theory of consciousness. That theory holds that reality cannot be grasped directly because it is available only through perceptions of reality that are representations in the mind.
A dream team of European neuroscientists is advancing toward a unified theory of consciousness, potentially unlocking the mysteries of the mind.
Sociology of human consciousness uses the theories and methodology of sociology to explain human consciousness. The theory and its models emphasize the importance of language, collective representations, self-conceptions, and self-reflectivity. It argues that the shape and feel of human consciousness is heavily social.
