Many philosophers doubt that one can provide any successful
explanation of sensory qualities - of how things look, feel or seem
to a perceiving subject. To do so one would need to be able to
explain qualitative facts in non-qualitative terms, and attempts to
construct such an explanation seem doomed to failure. Austen Clark
presents an analysis of sensory qualities that refutes such
scepticism and offers the possibility of a solution to the problem
of qualia. Drawing on work in psychophysics, psychometrics, and
sensory neurophysiology, he analyses the character and defends the
integrity of psychophysical explanations of qualitative facts,
arguing that the structure of such explanations is sound and
potentially successful. Clark gives a compact picture of that
unified scheme that emerges from this project and sketches its
potential reduction to neurophysiology. He does not claim to have a
full explanation or a complete reduction of qualitative facts;
rather, he shows that a solution to the problem of sensory
qualities is possible, and outlines the structures within which it
may yet be found.
