Solving the problem of consciousness in philosophy: methodological aspect

In solving of problem of consciousness there is a number of obstaclesof a methodological origin. A serious methodological obstacle is the situation which has developedconcerning ordinary representations about consciousness, obviously or implicitly present at philosophicalsolutions of a problem of consciousness. On the one hand, they are considered as indicatorsof adequacy of this or that conceptual approach, and on the another hand - as aspiration to ignorethem. Thus absolutization of a role of trues of common sense in the decision of philosophical problemsleads to return result - deprives understanding of philosophical consciousness, and categorical ignoringof installations of common sense in solution of a problem of consciousness - makes them extravagant,conflicting to steady ordinary representations about consciousness, transforms philosophical interpretationsof consciousness into gamble. Initial methodological position of the given research - trues ofcommon sense are necessary in a philosophical solution of a problem of consciousness. The philosophyisn't capable to exist outside of trues of common sense: presence of trues of common sense atstructure of philosophical knowledge makes it perceived on level of ordinary consciousness. The purposeof the article - revealing of essence of methodological problems of research of consciousness,definition of a functional role of intuitions of common sense at level of methodology of research ofconsciousness.The answer to a question on adequacy of the reference to trues of common sense at thedecision of difficult philosophical problems can be found by means of definition of a functional role ofintuitions of common sense in consciousness philosophy. The structure «philosophical installation the conceptual approach  the general methodological basis of research  concrete methodology the consciousness theory» represents algorithm of a solution of a problem of consciousness. As anobvious or implicit methodological invariant in this structure the common sense acts: as installation, asa method, as result; as criterion of an estimation of philosophical knowledge.
