The subjective first-person nature of conscious experience resists being explained in objective third-person terms. There may be objective things going on in the brain, but what is truly interesting is what happens subjectively. Materialists compare minds to illusions like sunrises; we will see through them as soon as we understand how the brain actually works. John Searle argues that you cannot eliminate something that really exists, and consciousness does really exist. To Daniel Dennett, the "fact that there's a body that has that point of view is all there is to being conscious."
