Abstract
The article presents a brief survey of some popular theories of consciousness which are divided into two types: philosophical theories and empirical ones. For each type, we propose a method of classification. The question is raised how to understand the quantum theory of consciousness - whether as a philosophical approach or as an empirical one. There are shown basic prerequisites of the quantum approach to the problem of defining consciousness.
