Comprehension of the phenomenon of consciousness within the framework of quantum approach (on the example of the concepts of M. Mensky and R. Penrose – S. Hameroff)

The article considers two modern concepts of consciousness: M. Menski's quantum theory of consciousness and R. Penrose-S. Hameroff's theory of objective reduction of states. Key aspects of the concept of consciousness within the framework of quantum approach are identified and both advantages and disadvantages of each concept are noted. Further prospects for the development of these concepts are presented, the philosophical analysis of which, of course, reflects certain trends in the development of modern science.
