[visionlist] Panel discussion: defining the Hard Problem of consciousness

[Fintan Nagle]

Dear colleagues in vision and philosophy,

We all "intuitively" understand what it means to experience and to
perceive. For centuries, psychologists and philosophers (not to mention
everyone else) have been trying to understand the mystery of conscious
experience: what makes redness feel so red and fire feel so warm?
Explanations abound, but are we really sure about the question? In this
online panel discussion, we try to clearly define what the quest for
consciousness is searching for. Our panellists include cognitive and vision
scientists, a philosopher, and an artist.

What is the Hard Problem of consciousness, and why is it so difficult? Are
we spending too much time answering the question rather than asking it?
Join our five online panellists, live, to investigate the mystery of
consciousness. Feel free to ask questions and join in the debate.
