The problem of interpreting quantum mechanics and the philosophical problem of consciousness both stem from the same misguided Cartesian assumptions. The analysis details the confusions underlying those assumptions. Rather than suggesting that quantum mechanics might explain consciousness, the argument proposes that an adequate non-Cartesian philosophy would transform our understanding of both quantum mechanics and consciousness, thereby changing what we think needs to be explained.
