Consciousness: a preliminary multidisciplinary mapping of concepts

Journal/Book: New Idea Psychol. 1998; 16: The Boulevard, Langford Lane, Kidlington, Oxford OX5 1GB, England. Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd. 159-164.

Abstract: A preliminary mapping of conceptions associated with consciousness studies is proposed. The mapping illustrates how the ''easy'' problems and ''hard'' problems of consciousness can be placed on a range of operational specificity. Additional conceptions of consciousness are shown within this overall mapping idea. It is concluded that while the ''hard problems'' of consciousness carry ''surplus meaning'', they are amenable to higher degrees of operational specification.
