A critical analysis of the quantum theories of consciousness by Penrose-Hameroff, M. Tegmark, G. Stapp, M. Fischer and M.B. Mensky shows that they fail to fully explain how complex physical systems generate mental experience without violating the principle of causal closure of the physical world and the principle of epistemological completeness of physics. Quantum mechanics provides specific processes that are the physical basis of the psyche, but do not explain the phenomenal aspect of subjective reality. Nevertheless, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle gives an understanding of how the interaction of consciousness and body within the scientific picture of the world can be carried out without violating the law of energy conservation. It is shown that the quantum theories of consciousness currently being developed have a predominantly panprotopsychic character, which faces a problem due to the fact that the protomental property of physical systems must be expressed quantitatively and correspond to the value included in the physical equations. As a result, it is concluded that in order to develop quantum theories of consciousness more effectively, it is necessary to give an emergent character, not jumping from the quantum level to the psychic, but explaining the mechanism of the emergence of systemic properties during the sequential transition between different ontological regions of existence, including physical, chemical, biological, neurophysiological and psychic.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>В статье анализируется эффективность квантовых теорий ментального опыта в отношении двух онтологических проблем - проблемы бытия сознания в материальном мире и проблемы взаимодействия сознания и тела. Критический анализ квантовых теорий сознания Пенроуза - Хамероффа, М. Тегмарка, Г. Стэппа, М. Фишера и М.Б. Менского показывает, что им не удается в полной мере объяснить, каким образом сложно устроенные физические системы порождают ментальный опыт без нарушения принципа каузальной замкнутости физического мира и принципа эпистемологической полноты физики. Квантовая механика предоставляет специфические процессы, которые являются физической основой психики, но не объясняют феноменальный аспект субъективной реальности. Тем не менее, принцип неопределенности Гейзенберга дает понимание, за счет чего взаимодействие сознания и тела в рамках научной картины мира может осуществляться без нарушения закона сохранения энергии. Показывается, что развиваемые в настоящее время квантовые теории сознания имеют преимущественно панпротопсихический характер, который сталкивается с проблемой, обусловленной тем, что протоментальное свойство физических систем должно выражаться количественно и соответствовать величине, входящей в физические уравнения. В итоге сделан вывод, что квантовым теориям сознания с целью более эффективного развития необходимо придать эмерджентистский характер, не перескакивая с квантового уровня на психический, а объясняя механизм возникновения системных свойств при последовательном переходе между разными онтологическими регионами сущего, включая физический, химический, биологический, нейрофизиологический и психический.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>consciousness</kwd><kwd>subjective reality</kwd><kwd>quantum mechanics</kwd><kwd>wave function collapse</kwd><kwd>quantum theories of consciousness</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>сознание</kwd><kwd>субъективная реальность</kwd><kwd>квантовая механика</kwd><kwd>коллапс волновой функции</kwd><kwd>квантовые теории сознания</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Velmans M.
