Above is a link to the latest topic I entered into at http://www.ilovephilosophy.com/. It asks the question whether materialism is inconsistent with a belief in consciousness. I enter in half way down the first page. The discussion develops into a much needed clarification of the 'how' problem (as it comes to be called) and what most materialists think of it. The 'how' problem is how neural and chemical events can give rise to qualia or 'feels'. The majority of materialists on this forum admit that science has not yet answered the 'how' problem, but they are confident that one day it will.
