🧠 What Is Consciousness?How exactly is it possible for consciousness to exist? Can it be reduced to purely physical parts and processes, or is there something about consciousness that evades materialistic explanations? And why do we have consciousness, anyway? Does it have a merely biological function, or does it confer some sort of unique moral status upon conscious organisms?
