Summary
AI-generated from the abstractThe paper examines the 'hard problem' of consciousness through the lens of onto-epistemological uncertainty. It argues that the way analytic philosophy frames the problem inevitably makes it a pseudo-problem. By consistently applying the principle of onto-epistemological uncertainty, the apparent antinomy in questions about consciousness is resolved, opening a productive path for explaining consciousness in both natural sciences and philosophy.

Abstract
The paper analyzes “Hard problem” of consciousness through the principle of the onto-epistemological uncertainty. It is shown that the method of production of “Hard problem” in the analytic philosophical tradition inevitably makes it a pseudo. At the same time, with the consistent implementation of the principle of the onto-epistemological uncertainty is removed antinomy solutions to the questions of the consciousness and opens the way for a productive problem-solving in the explanation of consciousness as in the natural sciences and philosophy.
