Abstract

Contemporary science, in recent decades, reflects intensely on the phenomenon of consciousness. This fact is due to the accelerated development of cognitive sciences, biological and physical sciences, neuroscience, which have achieved certain successes in researching the problem of mind-body, consciousness. However, what is strictly required is the issue of the possibility of a scientific theory of consciousness, which would apply a new research methodology. The most recent approaches in this direction substantiate the need for research from a phenomenological structural perspective, which explains consciousness as a phenomenon determined by the subquantum level. Structural-phenomenological theory holds that this level is a profound reality regulated by specific principles and laws that make consciousness possible.

Highlights

One of the main concepts of philosophy, from antiquity to the present day, is consciousness - which means the faculty of the mind to react to external and internal stimuli, to make knowledge possible
In contemporary philosophy the concept of consciousness is used with the following meanings: one of the meanings refers to self-knowledge, another meaning highlights a general property of mental states and a third retains a hedonistic or utilitarian meaning, and moral sense, i.e. the ability to qualify an action as moral or immoral
Conclusion intuitively, consciousness is a phenomenon given in a direct form, it remains the most mysterious and the most difficult element to define in the universe
