If Consciousness Is Fundamental: A Dialogue on Neuroscience, Intentionality, and What It Means to Be Human

yì bǎi duō nián lái一百多年来,hěn很duō多shén jīng神经kē xué jiā科学家rèn wéi认为,yì shí意识shì是dà nǎo大脑chǎn shēng产生de的:wǒ men我们de的xiǎng fǎ想法、gǎn qíng感情、jì yì记忆hé和“wǒ我shì是shuí谁”de的gǎn jué感觉,dōu都lái zì来自dà nǎo大脑。

For more than a hundred years, many neuroscientists have believed that consciousness is produced by the brain: our thoughts, feelings, memories, and sense of “who I am” all come from the brain.

xiàn zài现在,yī xiē一些yán jiū zhě研究者kāi shǐ开始tí chū提出lìng另yí gè一个wèn tí问题:rú guǒ如果yì shí意识bú shì不是dà nǎo大脑zào chū lái造出来de的,ér shì而是shì jiè世界běn lái本来jiù就yǒu有de的yī bù fèn一部分,huì会zěn yàng怎样?

Now, some researchers are beginning to ask another question: what if consciousness is not made by the brain, but is already part of the world itself?

zhè这hái还bú shì不是kē xué科学zhèng míng证明,zhǐ shì只是yí gè一个zhòng yào重要de的xiǎng fǎ想法。

This is not yet a scientific proof, only an important idea.

zhè yàng这样kàn看,dà nǎo大脑xiàng像yí gè一个gōng jù工具,bāng zhù帮助yì shí意识zhěng lǐ整理xìn xī信息、biǎo dá表达zì jǐ自己。

Seen this way, the brain is like a tool that helps consciousness organize information and express itself.

yì xiàng xìng意向性yě也hěn很zhòng yào重要,tā它bú shì不是jiǎn dān简单de的“wǒ我xiǎng想zuò做shén me什么”,ér shì而是yì shí意识zǒng shì总是cháo xiàng朝向mǒu某gè rén个人、mǒu某jiàn shì件事huò或wèi lái未来。

Intentionality is also important. It is not simply “what I want to do,” but the fact that consciousness is always directed toward someone, something, or the future.

rén人de的yì yì意义yě也bù不zhǐ shì只是bèi被zhǎo dào找到,hái还yào要tōng guò通过xuǎn zé选择hé和xíng dòng行动qù去shí xiàn实现。

Human meaning is not only something to be found; it must also be realized through choices and actions.

zhè ge这个xiǎng fǎ想法ràng让kē xué科学、zhé xué哲学hé和rén人de的shēng huó生活jīng yàn经验kě yǐ可以yì qǐ一起duì huà对话。

This idea allows science, philosophy, and human lived experience to enter into dialogue together.

zuì hòu最后,wèn tí问题yě xǔ也许bú shì不是“yì shí意识shì是shén me什么”,ér shì而是“wǒ men我们néng能chéng wéi成为zěn yàng怎样de的rén人”。

In the end, the question may not be “What is consciousness?” but “What kind of people can we become?”
