222 Theories of Consciousness

A new website describes and tracks the interconnections between 222 “theories” of consciousness across various disciplines. “The Map of Consciousness” was developed by Ricardo Forcano, the chief technology and operations officer at Creditas, an investment group, along with Claude Cowork, an AI “agent”. The site lists the various theories, arguments, and ideas, and clicking on any one of them brings up a page that describes the theory, identifies its advocates, the eras and regions its associated with, its strengths and weaknesses, and its connections with other theories. There is also an interactive “connection map”. Each of the nodes is a different theory, and mousing over any one of them will highlight its connections with other theories. Clicking on a node will take you to the page for that theory. The site includes theories of consciousness developed not just in philosophy and cognitive science but neuroscience, psychology, computing, biology, physics, anthropology, theology, “spirituality,” and indigenous traditions. You can create lists of the theories sorted by discipline, historical period, and geography. Check it out here. The post 222 Theories of Consciousness first appeared on Daily Nous.
