Why Neuroscience Will Never Solve the Hard Problem of Consciousness — And Who Already Did
from Luminary Flow · host Kolbrún | Luminary Flow
In 1994, David Chalmers named the Hard Problem of consciousness — why there is subjective experience at all. Three decades later, neuroscience is no closer to an answer. In this episode, we explore why the problem isn't a gap in our data but a flaw in our premise, how Plotinus solved it in the third century, what the Gnostic Pneuma and the Hermetic principle of Mentalism reveal about the nature of reality — and why modern philosophy of mind is quietly arriving at the same conclusion the ancient world reached long ago.
