Abstract
The notion of consciousness is well-discussed in the discourse of natural sciences and humanities as well, since the existence of conscious experience and the knowledge of conscious experience are the main privilege of the human mind. The problem of consciousness comes from the fact that sciences, with their presumption of physicalist reduction, cannot conceive all aspects of consciousness, but they, at the same time, deny that the consciousness could maybe contain something other than the physical.
This paper shows that in semiotics, we can both accept the knowledge gained from physicalist sciences and the irreducibility of consciousness and the definition of consequences that follow this position.
