What are phenomenal qualities, the qualities of conscious
experiences? How do the phenomenal aspects of conscious experiences
relate to brain processes? To what extent do experiences represent
the things around us, or the states of our own bodies? Are
phenomenal qualities subjective, belonging to inner mental episodes
of some kind, and merely dependent on our brains? Or should they be
seen as objective, belonging in some way to the physical things in
the world around us? Are they physical properties at all? The
problematic nature of phenomenal qualities makes it hard to
understand how the mind is related to the physical world. There is
no settled view about these issues, which concern some of the
deepest, and most central, problems in philosophy. Fourteen
original papers, written by a team of distinguished philosophers
and psychologists and set in context by a full introduction,
explore the ways in which phenomenal qualities fit in with our
understanding of mind and reality. The topics covered include:
phenomenal concepts, the relation of sensory qualities to the
modalities, the limits of current theories about physical matter;
problems about the nature of perceptual experience, projectivism,
and the extent to which perception is direct; non-conceptual
content, the representational nature of pain experience, and the
phenomenology of thought; and issues relating to empirical work on
synaesthesia, psychological theories of attention, and prospects
for unifying the phenomenal array with neurophysiological accounts
of the brain. This volume offers an indispensable resource for
anyone wishing to understand the nature of conscious experience.
