Abstract
En 中文
The word consciousness has different meanings to different people. As a result, the topic is difficult to write about. There are three major perspectives on consciousness, at least as I see them: the spiritual, hard-problem, and self-model perspectives. I argue here that they represent a progression in our understanding. The religious perspective is the original approach, intuitively compelling to many; the hard-problem view represents a conceptual advance introduced towards the end of the 20th century; and the self-model framework, which has gained ground more recently, is entirely mechanistic and, in my view, the most scientifically valid.
