Whats is lefet for the epistemology of consciousness
Philosophy of Mind. The Problem of Consciousness. Epistemology. Metaphysics. Science of Consciousness.
The problem of consciousness continues to trouble many philosophers and some scientists. It is often said that science misses something essential about consciousness, and therefore the former must be reformulated in some way, in order to properly contemplate the phenomenon in question. On other occasions, the problem is supposedly solved by simply eliminating the desideratum. This dissertation defends an alternative approach to these two extremes. Consciousness realism is accepted, but reformism of the science of consciousness is rejected. It is suggested that the scientific approach is inherently limited with respect to consciousness, but this does not imply any fracture in our scientific worldview. That done, we explore what remains for the epistemology of consciousness.
