Key points Argues that consciousness can be methodologically described using the principles of quantum mechanics and surveys competing approaches to the organization of human consciousness. The author contends that, as with quantum paradoxes, the essence of consciousness remains unresolved, with some scholars treating it as understood or illusory while others hold that it has barely been approached.

Abstract

In this article the author describes methodologically consciousness based on the principles of quantum mechanics, illustrates different approaches in the field of organization of human consciousness."Could this be more than just a coincidence?I cannot determine the real problem, so I suspect that there is no real problem, but I'm not sure that there is no real problem."-Americanphysicist Richard Feynman said this about the mysterious paradoxes of quantum mechanics.Today, this theory of physics is used to describe the smallest objects in the universe.But in the same way, he could say about the confused problem of consciousness.Some scholars think that we already understand consciousness or that this is just an illusion.But to many others it seems that we generally did not even get close to the essence of consciousness.
