By Bilbo The problem of consciousness is one that materialism hasn’t been able to solve. The most popular explanation is Epiphenomenalism — that consciousness is just a by-product of the physical activity of our brains. It has no causal efficacy in and of itself. This seems to be a problem when we consider [...]
