In Consciousness and the Limits of Objectivity Robert J. Howell
argues that the options in the debates about consciousness and the
mind-body problem are more limited than many philosophers have
appreciated. Unless one takes a hard-line stance, which either
denies the data provided by consciousness or makes a leap of faith
about future discoveries, one must admit that no objective picture
of our world can be complete. Howell argues, however, that this is
consistent with physicalism, contrary to received wisdom. After
developing a novel, neo-Cartesian notion of the physical, followed
by a careful consideration of the three major anti-materialist
arguments--Black's 'Presentation Problem', Jackson's Knowledge
Argument, and Chalmers' Conceivability Argument--Howell proposes a
'subjective physicalism' which gives the data of consciousness
their due, while retaining the advantages of a monistic, physical
ontology.
