text: **Philosophical responses**
  
  David Chalmers' formulation of the hard problem of consciousness provoked considerable debate within 
  philosophy of mind, as well as scientific research.[43] 
  
  is considered a problem primarily for 
  The hard problem 
  physicalist views of the mind (the view that the mind is a physical 
  object or process), since physical explanations tend to be 
  functional, or structural. Because of this, some physicalists have 
  responded to the hard problem by seeking to show that it dissolves 
  upon analysis. Other researchers accept the problem as real and 
  seek to develop a theory of consciousness' place in the world that 
  can solve it, by either modifying physicalism or abandoning it in 
  favour of an alternative ontology (such as panpsychism or 
  dualism). A third response has been to accept the hard problem as 
  real but deny human cognitive faculties can solve it.

  PhilPapers is an organization that archives academic philosophy 
  papers and periodically surveys professional philosophers about their views. It can be used to gauge 
  professional attitudes towards the hard problem. As of the 2020 survey results, it seems that the majority 
  of philosophers (62.42%) agree that the hard problem is real, with a substantial minority that disagrees 
  (29.76%).[25]
