"The “explanatory gap” is proposed to be the “hard problem” of\r\nconsciousness research and has generated a great deal of recent\r\ndebate.\r\nArguments brought forward to reveal this gap include the\r\nconceivability of zombies or the “super-neuroscientist” Mary. These\r\nare supposed to show that the facts of consciousness are not a priori\r\nentailed by the microphysical facts.\r\nSimilar arguments were already proposed by emergence theories in\r\nthe context of the debate between mechanism and vitalism.\r\nAccording to synchronic emergentism, the property of a system is\r\nemergent, when it cannot - in principle - be deduced from a complete\r\ndescription of the system’s components.\r\nHere, I argue that apart from phenomenal properties there are many\r\nother properties that, even though they are clearly physical, are not\r\nreductively explainable either. The explanatory gap of consciousness\r\nis therefore only a part of a much more general problem."^^ . "2005-06" . . . . . . . . "Kristina"^^ . "Musholt"^^ . "Kristina Musholt"^^ . . . . . .
