意识、当代神经科学与哲学

Consciousness,Contemporary Neuroscience and Philosophy

意识问题一直是个古老的哲学和心理学问题。20世纪以来随着科学和技术的发展特别是神经科学和技术的发展,意识研究已受到国际学术界的广泛关注。现已有大量意识产生的假说提出,艾克尔斯、克里克、艾德尔曼等都提出了自己的理论。目前的研究主要集中于克里克的“视觉意识”。但是除了实验科学方法之外,意识的研究还需要依赖哲学思维方法的帮助,如此的“二元论”将对于意识的研究大有裨益。

The question of consciousness is always an old problem of philosophy and psychology. Since 20th century, the research on consciousness has already received extensive concern from international academic cycles with the development of science and technology. There have been many hypothesis on the generation of consciousness. John Eecles, Francis Crick and Gerald Edelman raised their theories. Current research mainly focused on Crick＇ s “visual awareness”theory. Besides experimenttal scientific approaches, the research of consciousness also relies on the help of philosophic thinking methods, Such dualism may offer great help on the study of consciousness.
