Loading...There are 400+ theories of consciousness. And they could ALL be right
With potentially infinite conciousnesses inhabiting the cosmos. Perhaps there is truth in all of our theories, somewhere. Most fall into categories, but are we allowed to agree with theories in more that just one category?
– Materialism
– Idealism:
– Dualism
– Illusionism
– Panpsychism
– Epiphenomenalism
Robert Lawrence Kuhn explores what these theories reveal about free will, artificial intelligence and life after death in the New Scientist.
And here Kuhn provides an interactive map where you can pull them apart and investigate each one further. Great resource.
Charming Chalmers from days long gone.
Most likely the most important question we need to answer.
Very interesting. I watched this and concluded that you can likely believe in more than 1 theory if there is more than 1 type of consciousness. Highly recommend both O’Connor and Kuhn for further reading/watching.
