意味（1）

(philosophy) The view that the explanation of consciousness is not possible by humans

The latter contention may be motivated in one of two ways: either by appeal to positively characterized and seemingly conflictive features of the mental and the physical (in which case we might always reject dualism in favor of a materialist mysterianism such as McGinn’s 1999 ), or simply by failing to characterize positively the relevant domain of non-mental entities with which mentality is in need of reconciliation.
