Most theories of consciousness fail the standard tests of publicly-available scientific evidence. But if we don’t have scientifically acceptable evidence for the existence of consciousness, how can we say that it exists at all? Perhaps we’ve been approaching this question incorrectly. “Consciousness, Science and Observation” argues that empirical evidence consists of conscious experience. As a result, how we understand our observation of consciousness is different to how we understand other scientific observations. Questions about consciousness become part of a larger epistemological framework, the framework of science itself, rather than subjects of ordinary scientific investigation. This also has consequences for our metaphysical ideas of physicalism, realism and representationalism.
