Vědomí a úrovně vědomí. Dva rozdílné teoretické přístupy

Abstract

This paper deals with access to consciousness in two different fields. The first field is philosophy, as a hypothetical and theoretical discipline, trying to capture the theoretical questions about consciousness. Philosophical issues are related to intentional and phenomenal mental states, reductive ideas about consciousness and the possibility of the existence or emergence of consciousness in artificial intelligence. The second field is neurobiology that tries to access consciousness from a position of empirical science. It is important to have a common basic approach to consciousness but the central motivation of empirical sciences is finding objective measurable neurobiological correlates of consciousness. At the end this work is also trying to show that the results of empirical science can be used to solve philosophical problems.
