Abstract

Consciousness, This concept is widely circulated in many fields of knowledge, and is automatically realized in ourselves once we have a simple reflection on what is going on within our minds. However, it is one of the most problematic concepts, and the most difficult to explain. Previously consciousness was accepted intuitively, as an directly given to man, man is a rational being without the rest of living beings, but why he is  rational ? A question  no one answer, either old or present, a completely and scientifically accepted. This research" Hard problem- A study in the modern and contemporary theories interpretation of consciousness" does not claim to provide this answer, but rather scans the various answers provided to explain this difficult problem. Analyzing them and revealing their weaknesses and strengths.
