Integrated Information Theory (IIT) is currently one of the most influential scientific theories of consciousness. Here, researchers focus specifically on a metaphysical aspect of the theory’s most recent version (IIT 4.0), what they call its idealistic ontology, and its tension with a kind of realism about the external world that IIT also endorses. The authors define IIT's idealistic ontology as a specific combination of phenomenal primitivism, reductionism regarding Φ-structures and complexes, and eliminativism about non-conscious physical entities. In turn, they argue that IIT's realism should be understood as an assertion of the existence of other experiences beyond one’s own, what the researchers call a non-solipsistic idealist realism.
