Abstract

Abstract Major approaches to understanding the mind-body problem as it relates to consciousness are reviewed in this article. Special emphasis is placed on examining the dualist position and the current interpretations of this approach, including psychophysical parallelism, double aspectism, and interactionism. The limitations of these interpretations are considered, and an alternative is proposed using the ideas of Sperry. The concept of emergent interactionism proposes to explain existing microdeterministic concepts while shifting the focus to a consciousness-brain continuum.
