Consciousness Lies At The Core Of Being Human. Therefore To Understand Ourselves, We Need A Theory Of Consciousness. In Sisyphus's Boulder, Eric Dietrich And Valerie Hardcastle Argue That We Will Never Get Such A Theory Because Consciousness Has An Essential Property That Prevents It From Ever Being Explained. Consequently, Philosophical Debates Over Materialism And Dualism Are A Waste Of Time. Scientific Explanations Of Consciousness Fare No Better.
