The discussion of the nature of consciousness seems to have stalled, with the “hard problem of consciousness” in its center, well-defined camps of realists and eliminativists at two opposing poles, and little to none room for agreement between. Recent attempts to move this debate forward by shifting them to a meta-level have heavily relied on the notion of “intuition”, understood in a rather liberal way. Against this backdrop, the goal of this paper is twofold. First, we want to highlight how the ontological and epistemological status of intuitions restricts the arguments in the debate on consciousness that rely on them. Second, we want to demonstrate how the deadlock in those debates could be resolved through a study of a particular, “positive” kind of intuitions. We call this approach “The Canberrish Plan for Consciousness” as it adopts elements of the methodological “Canberra Plan”.

关于意识本质的讨论似乎停滞不前，其核心是“意识的难题”，在两个相对的极点上有明确定义的现实主义者和消极主义者阵营，彼此之间几乎没有共识的余地。最近通过将辩论转移到元层次来推进辩论的尝试很大程度上依赖于“直觉”的概念，这种理解以相当自由的方式被理解。在这种背景下，本文的目标是双重的。首先，我们要强调直觉的本体论和认识论地位如何限制在依赖直觉的意识辩论中的论点。第二，我们想证明如何通过研究一种特殊的，“积极的”直觉来解决这些辩论中的僵局。
