克里克的意识研究述评

Review on Crick's Consciousness Research

弗朗西斯·克里克摒弃功能主义而采用还原论策略来研究意识问题 ,并为这种研究提供了两个基本假设 ,以及不要给意识下精确定义等方法论思想。克里克选择视觉意识作为突破口并提出了自己称之为“惊人的假说”的理论。本文作者认为 ,“惊人的假说”并不惊人。

Francis Crick studies consciousness problem by not functionalism but reductionism and provides methodology including two basic assumptions and not giving a precise definition for consciousness.Crick chooses visual consciousness as a breakthrough and advances a theory named'astonishing hypothesis'.The author of this paper thinks that the'astonishing hypothesis'is not astonishing at all.
