Abstract

A selective translation of the article by the Austrian philosopher, theologian, psychologist and teacher from the Department of Pedagogical Sciences of the University of Salzburg F. Riffer seems appropriate, since it highlights the modern philosophical debates about the phenomenon of consciousness based on D. Chalmers' distinction between its easy and difficult problems. A.N. Whitehead's philosophy of the process provides a promising basis for solving a difficult problem in connection with the rootedness of the concept of consciousness in metaphysical theory. Whitehead's reflection is compared with the results of empirical studies of the phenomena of consciousness of J. Piaget. If they partially coincide, the position of the former seems to be more reasonable. This corresponds to W.E. Seeger's suggestion to pay more attention to processalism or the concept of a philosophical process. Whitehead's point of view on learning, consciousness and artificial intelligence is considered.
