Resumen
Este artículo ofrece una visión no técnica de los problemas de la consciencia y mi tratamiento de ellos. Distingo entre los problemas fáciles y el problema fuerte de la consciencia, y argumento que el problema fuerte elude los métodos de explicación convencionales. Sostengo que se requiere una nueva forma de explicación no reductiva y planteo algunos movimientos hacia una teoría detallada no reductiva.
