Max Velmans

Max Velmans is a psychologist and philosopher known for his work on consciousness. He argues that consciousness is not just a passive experience but involves active processes that shape our perception of reality. Velmans proposes the "two-aspect" model of consciousness, suggesting that mental events and physical events are two sides of the same coin. He emphasizes the importance of subjective experience and suggests that understanding consciousness requires integrating both scientific and philosophical perspectives. His work challenges traditional views and encourages a deeper exploration of how we experience awareness and perceive the world around us.
