The objectives of this research included showing the reasons for the authors’ thesis, demonstrating the irreducibility of consciousness as a special layer of reality, and proposing a way to overcome these difficulties.</p><p><em>Design/methodology/approach:</em> In this article, the ‘hard problem’ of consciousness is viewed from the standpoints of the transcendental-phenomenological and dialectical approaches and is analyzed through the prism of the principle of onto-gnoseological uncertainty.</p><p><em>Findings:</em> It is shown that the way of formulating the ‘hard problem’ in the analytical philosophical tradition inevitably makes it a pseudo-problem. At the same time, with the consistent realization of the principle of onto-gnoseological uncertainty, the antinomy of solutions to the problems of consciousness is eliminated, which opens up a way to a productive solution of problems related to the interpretation of consciousness both in natural sciences and in philosophy.</p><p><em>Originality/value</em>: This research reveals the methodological potential of applying the principle of onto-gnoseological uncertainty to the problems that arise in modern philosophy in connection with the achievements of natural sciences.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Scientia et Fides}, author={Nikolaevna Gnatik, Ekaterina and Alexandrovich Lokhov, Sergey and Valerievich Mamchenkov, Dmitry and Petrovna Matyushova, Maria}, year={2018}, month={Jul.}, pages={101–113} }
