Science and Philosophy of Consciousness

Science of consciousness studies how the brain produces awareness, exploring neural processes and mechanisms underlying our thoughts, feelings, and perceptions. Philosophy of consciousness examines fundamental questions about the nature of these experiences—such as whether consciousness is purely physical or has non-physical aspects, and how subjective awareness relates to the physical world. Together, these fields seek to understand what consciousness is, how it arises, and why it matters. They combine scientific evidence with philosophical reasoning to deepen our grasp of this profound aspect of human experience.
