Consciousness is a perennial source of mystification in the
philosophy of mind: how can processes in the brain amount to
conscious experiences? Robert Kirk uses the notion of `raw feeling'
to bridge the intelligibility gap between our knowledge of
ourselves as physical organisms and our knowledge of ourselves as
subjects of experience; he argues that there is no need for
recourse to dualism or private mental objects. The task is to
understand how the truth about raw feeling could be strictly
implied by narrowly physical truths. Kirk's explanation turns on an
account of what it is to be a subject of conscious perceptual
experience. He offers penetrating analyses of the problems of
consciousness and suggests novel solutions which, unlike their
rivals, can be accepted without gritting one's teeth. His sustained
defence of non-reductive physicalism shows that we need not abandon
hope of finding a solution to the mind-body problem.
