The Strawson essay is a decent overview of some of the more widely known trends in scientific and philosophical treatments of consciousness, though it obscures almost as much as it illuminates.
However, it founders (and thus highlights the basic conceptual problem) by:
(a) following all the approaches it criticizes in treating 'consciousness' as a specific thing or feature addressable as an object of analysis; and
(b) failing to define this object of analysis in any manner more informative than hand-waving and assuring the reader we all know what it is.
These are the two main pitfalls that led to calling the issue of consciousness 'the hard problem'.
