 | | What Didn’t Mary Know? | | by Nearly Anonymous, May 18, 2008 | | This paper contends that Campbell’s and Jackson’s analyses of qualia carry no ontological weight, rely on a primary intuition with unclear origins, and lead to highly counterintuitive and worrying consequences. Nagel’s analysis, in contrast, necessitates none of the suspect results that come with Campbell’s and Jackson’s claims. Consequently, we should take Nagel’s account of qualia – which does not show physicalism to be mistaken – to be overwhelmingly preferable. | | Comments(0) Liked It: 0 |
