Michael Pelczar presents an original account of space, time and
conscious experience. How does the modern scientific conception of
time constrain the project of assigning the mind its proper place
in nature? On the scientific conception, it makes no sense to speak
of the duration of a pain, or the simultaneity of sensations
occurring in different parts of the brain. Such considerations led
Henri Poincare, one of the founders of the modern conception, to
conclude that consciousness does not exist in spacetime, but serves
as the basic material out of which we must create the physical
world. The central claim of Sensorama is that Poincare was
substantially correct. The best way to reconcile the scientific
conception of time with the evidence of introspection is through a
phenomenalist metaphysic according to which consciousness exists in
neither time nor space, but serves as a basis for the logical
construction of spacetime and its contents.
