摘要翻译:
查尔默的著名观点认为,对我们主观经验的精确解释是“意识的难题”。他认为主观经验构成了一个“难题”,因为对它的解释最终需要新的物理定律或原理。在这里,我们提出一个相应的“生活难题”,作为“信息”如何影响世界的问题。在这篇文章中,我们既要说明为什么作为因果动因的信息问题对于解释生命是中心的,又要说明为什么它是困难的--也就是说,为什么我们怀疑生命这个困难问题的完全解决,将像对意识这个困难问题所提出的那样,最终不能归结为已知的物理原理。

英文摘要:
Chalmer's famously identified pinpointing an explanation for our subjective experience as the "hard problem of consciousness". He argued that subjective experience constitutes a "hard problem" in the sense that its explanation will ultimately require new physical laws or principles. Here, we propose a corresponding "hard problem of life" as the problem of how `information' can affect the world. In this essay we motivate both why the problem of information as a causal agent is central to explaining life, and why it is hard - that is, why we suspect that a full resolution of the hard problem of life will, similar to as has been proposed for the hard problem of consciousness, ultimately not be reducible to known physical principles.
