Ignorance and Imagination advances a novel way to resolve the
central philosophical problem about the mind: how it is that
consciousness or experience fits into a larger naturalistic picture
of the world.
The correct response to the problem, Stoljar argues, is not to
posit a realm of experience distinct from the physical, nor to deny
the reality of phenomenal experience, nor even to rethink our
understanding of consciousness and the language we use to talk
about it. Instead, we should view the problem itself as a
consequence of our ignorance of the relevant physical facts,
Stoljar shows that this change of orientation is well motivated
historically, empirically, and philosophically, and that it has
none of the side effects it is sometimes thought to have. The
result is a philosophical perspective on the mind that has a number
of far-reaching consequences: for consciousness studies, for our
place in nature, and for the way we think about the relationship
between philosophy and science.
