摘要

Doerig等人指出了现有意识理论的一些缺陷，并认为它们应该系统地受到经验数据的约束。在这篇评论中，我提出了一个进一步的限制——意识(内容)的潜在功能。人类的一个候选功能是可报告的精神状态的社会分享。意识的社会功能为理解意识的进化和神经生物学提供了一个总体框架。

Theories of consciousness are solutions in need of problems.

Doerig et al. point out a number of shortcomings with existing theories of consciousness and argue they should be systematically constrained by empirical data. In this commentary I suggest a further constraint - the potential functions of (the contents of) consciousness. One such candidate function in humans is the social sharing of reportable mental states. The social function of consciousnessprovides a general framework within which to understand the evolution and neurobiology of conscious awareness.
