"596","Consciousness and the \"Causal Paradox\"","Viewed from a first-person perspective consciousness appears to be necessary for complex, novel human activity - but viewed from a third-person perspective consciousness appears to play no role in the activity of brains, producing a \"causal paradox\". To resolve this paradox one needs to distinguish consciousness of processing from consciousness accompanying processing or causing processing. Accounts of consciousness/brain causal interactions switch between first- and third-person perspectives. However, epistemically, the differences between first- and third-person access are fundamental. First- and third-person accounts are complementary and mutually irreducible.","http://cogprints.org/596/","Velmans, Max","UNSPECIFIED"," Velmans, Max (1996) Consciousness and the \"Causal Paradox\".
