Summary
This work argues that a non-physicalist paradigm offers a more complete explanation of consciousness than physicalist approaches. It contends that subjective experience cannot be fully accounted for by brain processes alone and that consciousness may involve non-material aspects. The paper explores the explanatory power of this perspective for understanding the nature of conscious experience.
