In consciousness research, we have a very large number of theories, which exceeds by far the number of theories in other fields. We recently presented a set of criteria for evaluating and comparing theories of consciousness, and then applied the criteria to a number of different theories. Our publication sparked strong responses as evident by the many comments published in (this issue). Overall, there seems to be consensus that a theory of consciousness (ToC) needs to have an unconscious alternative, but other criteria sparked controversy. The hottest debate is to what extent consciousness needs to work with purely 1 person data, containing information not available in 3 person reports. We would like to thank all the commentators for their lively input and we look forward to continued dialog as theories evolve and compete.
在意识研究中,我们有大量的理论,远远超过其他领域的理论数量。我们最近提出了一套评估和比较意识理论的标准,并将这些标准应用于一些不同的理论。我们的出版物引起了强烈的反响,从发表的许多评论中可以明显看出(本期)。总的来说,似乎有一种共识,即意识理论(ToC)需要有一个无意识的替代方案,但其他标准引发了争议。最激烈的争论是意识在多大程度上需要与纯粹的 1 人数据一起工作,这些数据包含 3 人报告中没有的信息。我们要感谢所有评论员的积极参与,我们期待随着理论的发展和竞争,继续进行对话。
