Epiphenomenalism: Even if consciousness is real, what could it

by Phi-Sci Online <liz_j@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > May 22, 2008 at 08:40 PM

Epiphenomenalism is the claim that even if consciousness is real in
the Hard Problem sense, there is no room for it to be causally
efficacious. That is, we may really see red and feel pain in ways that
are irreducible to the mindless unconscious interactions of our
brains' neuroanatomical parts, but our consciousness is a helpless
observer. Link: http://home.comcast.net/~johnrgregg/epiph.htm
