Joseph Levine (born January 17, 1952) is an American philosopher at the University of Massachusetts Amherst who received his PhD from Harvard University in 1981. He works on philosophy of mind and is best known for formulating the explanatory gap argument against a materialist explanation for consciousness. This has been cited as a precursor to David Chalmers's formulation of the hard problem of consciousness and as one of the main objections materialist theories in philosophy of mind must address. The idea of the explanatory gap is that an unbridgeable gap exists when trying to comprehend consciousness from the perspective of natural science, as a scientific explanation of mental states would require a reduction from a physical process to phenomenal experience.

Januar 1952) ist ein US-amerikanischer Philosoph, der an der University of Massachusetts Amherst lehrt. Sein Arbeitsgebiet ist die Philosophie des Geistes. Er wurde bekannt mit dem sogenannten „Explanatory-gap-argument“. Hierbei will Levine jedoch nicht zu einem Dualismus zurückkehren (wie etwa Karl Popper und John C. Eccles), sondern bleibt – trotz der beschriebenen Probleme – Materialist.

Il travaille dans le domaine de la philosophie de l'esprit et est principalement connu pour avoir formulé l'argument du fossé explicatif contre les explications matérialistes de la conscience. L'argument du fossé explicatif a été cité comme un précurseur à la formulation par David Chalmers du problème difficile de la conscience, et comme l'une des objections principales auxquelles les théories matérialistes doivent répondre.
