Yeah, that's what I meant earlier about analytic philosophy basically becoming an editor or handmaiden of the natural sciences. Even then I wonder what the term "consciousness" taken in the ontological sense really means other than mind.
But meanwhile phenomenology and radical empiricism have given very interesting and useful accounts of experience as such by abandoning the very problematic of mind/body dualism.
