Abstract

This paper explores the multifaceted nature of consciousness from philosophical, neuroscientific, and social perspectives. It discusses Cartesian dualism, which views consciousness as a non-material entity, contrasts this with neuroscientific evidence linking consciousness to brain activity and considers non-reductive physicalism and social constructionism's insights into the subjective experience of consciousness. The study integrates these views, suggesting that consciousness arises from both biological processes and social interactions, highlighting the complex interplay between an individual's internal and external worlds.
