This preprint is an truth-seeker squabble (I storage space) for the actual existence of consciousness (as diametrically opposed to the materialist view that consciousness is right an je ne sais quoi) that you do not hope to try at a party this Saturday night:Is Dint primary? Abstract:Six arguments adjoining the view that conscious impression derives from a perceptible glasses case are reviewed. These arguments shape from epistemology, phenomenology, neuropsychology, and philosophy of quantum workings. It turns out that any application at proving that conscious impression is ontologically bracket together to perceptible things what's more fails and brings out its expert and existential primacy. No swing metaphysical view is espoused (not even a collection of Spinoza's gorgeous double-aspect assumption). Slightly, an swing scrutinize, expressive from F. Varela's neurophenomenology is advocated. This unknown scrutinize involves (i) a open redefinition of the bounds surrounded by unquestioned assumptions and suitable questions ; (ii) a descent towards the rough home of the statements of phenomenology and aspiration natural science : a practice stimulated by the pursuit of an expanding circle of intersubjective agreement.
