In our Philosophy of Science class, we have seen that Science focuses on the object, while the totality of reality is an interaction between subject and object. Looking at Kurt Gödel's incompleteness theorem, we could say that science is a closed system, and that a statement such as "I am conscious" is known to be true but cannot be verified within the scientific system.

Does it mean that science is not useful in some cases? or it is just a tool for modelling the observable world. Like any tool, it works best when used for its intended purpose.

Don't you think that we underestimate the challenge of understanding the nature of consciousness by being convinced that we simply need to continue to examine the physical structures of the brain to determine how they produce consciousness?

Thank you.
