New Mysterianism is a philosophical position that suggests certain questions about consciousness and the nature of the mind may be fundamentally beyond human understanding. The term is most commonly associated with the work of philosopher Colin McGinn, who argues that there may be limits to human cognition that prevent us from fully grasping how physical processes in the brain give rise to subjective experiences such as thoughts, feelings, and perceptions.
