Naturalizing the Mind skillfully develops a representational theory
of the qualitative, the phenomenal, the what-it-is-like aspects of
the mind that have defied traditional forms of naturalism. How can
the baffling problems of phenomenal experience be accounted for? In
this provocative book, Fred Dretske argues that to achieve an
understanding of the mind it is not enough to understand the
biological machinery by means of which the mind does its job. One
must understand what the mind's job is and how this task can be
performed by a physical system-the nervous system. Naturalizing the
Mind skillfully develops a representational theory of the
qualitative, the phenomenal, the what-it-is-like aspects of the
mind that have defied traditional forms of naturalism. Central to
Dretske's approach is the claim that the phenomenal aspects of
perceptual experiences are one and the same as external, real-world
properties that experience represents objects as having. Combined
with an evolutionary account of sensory representation, the result
is a completely naturalistic account of phenomenal consciousness. *
