Abstract
Este ensayo destaca la importancia del sujeto en los estudios de la conciencia. Inicia con el “problema duro” del nexo psicofísico según David Chalmers, Thomas Nagel y Colin McGinn. Luego se exponen el materialismo y el dualismo en contraste con la ontología budista, seguido de una breve descripción de la neurofenomenología de Francisco Varela. Finalmente, se presenta la meditación budista como método introspectivo válido que reivindica el papel del sujeto en los estudios sobre la conciencia.
