The problem of explaining consciousness remains a problem about the
meaning of language: the ordinary language of consciousness in
which we define and express our sensations, thoughts, dreams and
memories. This book argues that the problem arises from a quest
that has taken shape over the twentieth century, and that the
analysis of history provides new resources for understanding and
resolving it. Paul Livingston traces the development of the
characteristic practices of analytic philosophy to problems about
the relationship of experience to linguistic meaning, focusing on
the theories of such philosophers as Carnap, Schlick, Neurath,
Husserl, Ryle, Putnam, Fodor and Wittgenstein. Clearly written and
avoiding technicalities, this book will be eagerly sought out by
professionals and graduate students in philosophy and cognitive
science.
