Abstract:

In property emergentism's view, consciousness is merely a property that is emerged by the smallest atoms, molecules, proteins, polymers, cells until tissues, organs, as the effect of interaction with the whole universe and this property, however, is distinct from the components and structures of its physical, chemical and nervous bases. In contrast, substance emergentism has argued for the realization of the immaterial substance of soul/mind. The philosophical analysis of the two claims and their arguments is the main issue of this paper. Property emergentists due to systemic view and dependence of consciousness on neural states and brain regions, and observing the nervous-psychological disorders, attribute the state of consciousness to the nervous sub-layers and do not confirm the substance of soul/mind. But based on the features of consciousness including having the first-person perspective, being representational state, having mental qualification (qualia), we will argue that substance emergentists are in a better position to explain consciousness and its essential properties.
