| description | The phenomenal consciousness, or the subjective experience of our inner world is a very surprising topic, «the last surviving mystery» able to ignite a long line of philosophical and also scientific controversy. Despite all of the comprehensive efforts, the ideal of clarity remains far beyond our expectations. Should we abandon the studies of consciousness as being too futile or counterproductive? Or should we continue to struggle for dismantling the articulations of «the hard problem of consciousness», and setting more sophisticated questions even if there are no guarantees for adequate answers. The following enterprise is just an attempt to persuade the reader about how the problem of conscious experience remains an important issue not only for the philosophy of mind, but also for the commonsense thought too. This special topic deserves our whole attention, because it is able to generate a shift in our perspectives about us and our place into the external world. |
