Neurophenomenological Theory of Freedom: Sartre’s Existential Philosophy and Hard Problem of Consciousness
Alexander A. Kiselnikov
Abstract
In late 20th century D. Chalmers came to the conclusion that consciousness is redundant in relation to the brain
functioning and he called it the hard problem of consciousness. In this article a fusion of existentialism and
quantum theories of consciousness will be proposed, with the result being a neurophenomenological theory of
consciousness Quantum brain and Nothingness. An important base for the paper is the idea of direct connection
between the hard problem of consciousness and the problem of free will that allows us to build a “bridge”
between existential philosophy and the hard problem of consciousness
Keywords
hard problem of consciousness, existential philosophy, quantum physics, nothingness, qualia
