On the relevance of folk intuitions: a commentary on Talbot.
Consciousness and Cognition June 1, 2012 Justin Sytsma, Edouard Machery
In previous work, we presented evidence suggesting that ordinary people do not conceive of subjective experiences as having phenomenal qualities. We then argued that these findings undermine a common justification given for the reality of the hard problem of consciousness. In a thought-provoking article, Talbot has challenged our argument. In this article, we respond to his criticism.
