What is known as ‘the problem of the explanatory gap is explained within the framework of the philosophy of mind? In view of the difficulties of reductive materialism in relating physical terms with phenomenological terms, which account for consciousness as a macroscopic phenomenon, an epistemic approach is presented, by Chalmers and Jackson, to address the problem of the gap through conceptual analysis. The intention is to justify the necessity of an a priori relation between physical and phenomenal terms.
