520 _a"The history of Western thought bears witness to the great complexity of reflection on the phenomenon of consciousness. As the notion is an analogical one, philosophers, psychologists, jurists, theologians, moralists and more recently neuroscientists are not referring to the same realities in using this term. Many neurobiologists take a very modest stance in the matter, whereas among those who are believers, some feel confronted here ""by a mystery"", and while accepting ""the evolution of mankind through natural selection"", speak of ""spiritual attributes [...] that do not result from evolution, but are of supernatural origin"". The theologians engaged in a dialogue with neuroscientists cannot accept this kind of concordism, which gives to a scientific problem a solution that emanates from a religious belief. This paper will explore which theory of consciousness and self-consciousness enables us, at one and the same time, to respect the limits of competence involved and to open up the debate to a theology of consciousness based on a holistic, non-dualistic anthropology of the Bible."
