A Philosophical Analogy Between Quantum Theory and Phenomenal Consciousness

by

Abstract

This study outlines the core objective: to explore an analogical argument between quantum mechanics and phenomenal consciousness. The work proposes that phenomenal consciousness and quantum phenomena share structural features—such as observer-dependence, contextual emergence, and perspectival constitution—that justify the use of analogy not as metaphor, but as a philosophical method. It also critically examines the status, limits, and epistemic implications of analogical reasoning in this context.
