There may be a way forward. I argue that we can account for the evolution of consciousness only if we reject reductionism about consciousness. Most consciousness researchers employ a reductionist view of the universe, where physics is running the show. Thus insofar as there are some future possibilities left open by the arrangements of particles in our brains, they are settled by nothing more than the random chanciness implicit in quantum mechanics.что это такое random chanciness? хотел сказать красиво? и что же это там over and above the laws of physics хочем знатьSome challenges have lately emerged to this reductionist paradigm. The neuroscientist Kevin Mitchell has argued that the free will of conscious organisms plays a role in determining what will happen in the brain, over and above what is settled by the laws of physics.
этот Dr Goff в статье пропагандирует свою новую книжку Why? The Purpose of the Universe: In this pioneering work, Philip Goff argues that it is time to move on from both God and atheism. а вот заголовки отзывов (one star) на его предыдущую книжку Galileo's Error: Foundations for a New Science of Consciousness: - Beware The Tenured Bearing Junk Science
- Well written but so deeply flawed it’s “not even wrong”
- Bold assertion with no evidence
а вот наш герой борется с ретроградами:Civil war has broken out in the field of consciousness research. More than 100 consciousness researchers have signed a letter accusing one of the most popular scientific theories of consciousness – the integrated information theory – of being pseudoscience.полно ссылок, можно всю жизнь читать. а вот Jerry Coyne подробно разъясняет почему панпсихизм - лженаука: Philip Goff returns with panpsychism: now claims that a non-goddy “conscious Universe” explains the “fine-tuning” of physical constants permitting life, там много забавных комментариев. вспоминается Лысенко и вейсманисты-морганисты...
