Abstract

Cechuras Analyse verdeutlicht, dass die kognitive Hirnforschung eine neue Ideologie begründet. In dieser werden Ergebnisse aus der Naturwissenschaft dazu benutzt, die Ergebnisse der bürgerlichen Konkurrenz biologisch zu erklären und damit als naturgegeben zu behaupten.Ausgangspunkt dieser Analyse ist die kontroverse öffentliche Diskussion um die Existenz des freien Willens. In seiner auch für naturwissenschaftliche Laien verständlichen Auseinandersetzung mit Autoren wie Roth, Singer, Spitzer, Damasio, Kandel u.a. zeigt Cechura auf, dass ihre These, der menschliche Wille sei nicht frei, nicht das Ergebnis ihrer Forschung, sondern ihr Dogma ist, das den Ausgangspunkt ihrer Theorien bildet. Mit der Erfindung des Bestimmungsverhältnisses des Menschen durch sein Organ Gehirn formulieren sie psychologische Theorien und Konstrukte um und verwandeln diese in biologische Gegebenheiten. Der Mensch wird zum Informationsverarbeitungsmechanismus, der sich nur in seiner Komplexität von einer Schnecke oder einem Salamander unterscheidet.Brisanz erhalten diese Thesen, weil die kognitive Hirnforschung als neue Leitwissenschaft antritt. Das von ihr entworfene Menschenbild zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass zwischen dem Überlebenskampf im Urwald und dem in der Konkurrenz der kapitalistischen Gesellschaft kein Unterschied gemacht wird. Die Ergebnisse der Konkurrenz sind somit nicht das Ergebnis dieses Kampfes, der immer Gewinner und Verlierer kennt, sondern der unterschiedlichen individuellen Verschaltung im Gehirn - eine affirmative Sichtweise, die auch für die Bildungsdebatte und die Ausrüstung des Nachwuchses für den künftigen Erfolg im internationalen Wettbewerb instrumentalisiert wird.

Abstract

What is consciousness? How do physical processes in the brain give rise to the self-aware mind and to feelings as profoundly varied as love or hate, aesthetic pleasure or spiritual yearning? These questions today are among the most hotly debated issues among scientists and philosophers, and we have seen in recent years superb volumes by such eminent figures as Francis Crick, Daniel C. Dennett, Gerald Edelman, and Roger Penrose, all firing volleys in what has come to be called the consciousness wars. Now, in The Conscious Mind, philosopher David J. Chalmers offers a cogent analysis of this heated debate as he unveils a major new theory of consciousness, one that rejects the prevailing reductionist trend of science, while offering provocative insights into the relationship between mind and brain. Writing in a rigorous, thought-provoking style, the author takes us on a far-reaching tour through the philosophical ramifications of consciousness. Chalmers convincingly reveals how contemporary cognitive science and neurobiology have failed to explain how and why mental events emerge from physiological occurrences in the brain. He proposes instead that conscious experience must be understood in an entirely new light--as an irreducible entity (similar to such physical properties as time, mass, and space) that exists at a fundamental level and cannot be understood as the sum of its parts. And after suggesting some intriguing possibilities about the structure and laws of conscious experience, he details how his unique reinterpretation of the mind could be the focus of a new science. Throughout the book, Chalmers provides fascinating thought experiments that trenchantly illustrate his ideas. For example, in exploring the notion that consciousness could be experienced by machines as well as humans, Chalmers asks us to imagine a thinking brain in which neurons are slowly replaced by silicon chips that precisely duplicate their functions--as the neurons are replaced, will consciousness gradually fade away? The book also features thoughtful discussions of how the author's theories might be practically applied to subjects as diverse as artificial intelligence and the interpretation of quantum mechanics.
