Frank Jackson's knowledge argument imagines a super-smart
scientist, Mary, forced to investigate the mysteries of human
colour vision using only black and white resources. Can she work
out what it is like to see red from brain-science and physics
alone? The argument says no: Mary will only really learn what red
looks like when she actually sees it. Something is therefore
missing from the science of the mind, and from the 'physicalist'
picture of the world based on science. This powerful and
controversial argument remains as pivotal as when it was first
created in 1982, and this volume provides a thorough and incisive
examination of its relevance in philosophy of mind today. The
cutting-edge essays featured here break new ground in the debate,
and also comprehensively set out the developments in the story of
the knowledge argument so far, tracing its impact, past, present,
and future.
