In the overview of the current state of empirical theories of consciousness, author reveals that those theories still find themselves in the pre-paradigmatic stage, therefore not yet posing an immediate existential threat to the philosophy of consciousness, though making it watch out. Author attempts to deal with the certain ambiguity of the term ‘consciousness’, stripping its meaning from parts already susceptible to science and technology and from parts still highly unlikely to be explained away. Besides, the relationship between philosophy and science is specified in general by analyzing them to their inner dynamics of theories and ontologies, showing that for science, the distinction between the two is substantially more important than for philosophy. From this perspective, philosophical schemas of consciousness claiming to be ‘experiential’ must have met recently formulated criteria for empirical theories of consciousness, otherwise failing to explain anything in the domain. Finally, author adds his pragmatic criterion that addresses the technological perspectives a theory provides. In the end, a winning competitive theory will have to let us produce and control artificial conscious devices.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Последние достижения в эмпирических исследованиях сознания и впечатляющие достижения в области технологий искусственного интеллекта выбивают философию из привычного комфорта бесконечно множащихся концепций и схоластических споров. В обзоре современного состояния эмпирический теорий сознания показано, что эти теории пока находятся на до-парадигмальной стадии, поэтому ещё не представляют непосредственной экзистенциальной угрозы для философии сознания, хотя и заставляют её быть начеку. Автор предлагает попытку совладать с хорошо знакомой многозначностью термина «сознание», отделив те аспекты его значения, которые уже покоряются науке и технике, от тех, которые пока ещё не поддаются объяснению. Кроме того, в статье предлагается анализ внутренней динамики теорий и онтологий, который позволяет уточнить отношения между философией и наукой в целом и показывает, что для науки различие между этими элементами существенно важнее, чем для философии. С этой точки зрения философские концепции сознания, претендующие быть «основанными на опыте», должны соответствовать недавно сформулированным критериям эмпирических теорий сознания, чтобы действительно что-то объяснять в этой сфере. Наконец, автор добавляет свой прагматический критерий, учитывающий технологические перспективы, предлагаемые теорией. В конце концов, победившая в конкуренции теория должна позволить нам производить искусственные сознательные устройства и управлять ими.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>empirical theories of consciousness</kwd><kwd>intelligence</kwd><kwd>awareness</kwd><kwd>control</kwd><kwd>qualia</kwd><kwd>phenomenal consciousness</kwd><kwd>high order thought</kwd><kwd>information integration theory</kwd><kwd>global neuronal workspace</kwd><kwd>unconscious priming</kwd><kwd>intentionality</kwd><kwd>representation</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>эмпирические теории сознания</kwd><kwd>интеллект</kwd><kwd>осознание</kwd><kwd>контроль</kwd><kwd>квалиа</kwd><kwd>феноменальное сознание</kwd><kwd>мышление высшего порядка</kwd><kwd>теория интегрированной информации</kwd><kwd>глобальное нейронное рабочее пространство</kwd><kwd>бессознательный прайминг</kwd><kwd>интенциональность</kwd><kwd>репрезентация</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Block N.
