He's right that philosophers hate epiphenomenalism. let me summarize what I heard Edelman say: "consciousness is not causal because it is an entailment of the 'dynamic core' within the brain and body, which acts in a world of which it is composed. consciousness is a process, so it cannot be causal (unless a thermodynamically open system can somehow become causally efficacious)."
Isn't everything a process? What exists outside the process? Since when did materialism have a monopoly on causality?

I think it is ... ( 6 months ago by 0ThouArtThat0)

I think it is feasible that highly complex autopoietic systems (like the cell, or mammals) are capable of producing patterns which are more than the sum of their parts. Emergent processes (like consciousness) can generate top down feedback to complement the sensory channels from our environment with appropriate motor responses. Consciousness definitely isn't a thing, I'm with Edelman there. It is not a thinking substance separate from body. Consciousness is the ongoing process.
