Powers and the hard problem of consciousness: conceivability, possibility and powers

European Journal for Philosophy of Science June 1, 2022 Sophie R Allen

AbstractDo conceivability arguments work against physicalism if properties are causal powers? By considering three different ways of understanding causal powers and the modality associated with them, I will argue that most, if not all, physicalist powers theorists should not be concerned about the conceivability argument because its conclusion that physicalism is false does not hold in their...

The Philosophy of Mind

May 31, 2022 Tim Crane

A deep concern with consciousness and intentionality is one of the several things that has lately moved into the centre of the philosophy of mind. The issue of consciousness is often treated as something distinct from intentionality, but – as Tim Crane notes in his incisive new Foreword – there is now something of a sea-change. This classic volume may be at least partly responsible for the...

PLATONIC COMPUTER—THE UNIVERSAL MACHINE THAT BAIDGE€ THE “INVERSE EXPLANATOAY GAP” IN THE PHILOSOPHY OF MIND

Filozofia i Nauka May 18, 2022 Simon X. Duan

The scope of Platonism is extended by introducing the concept of a “Platonic computer” which is incorporated in metacomputics.

Metaconsciousness is defined as the “power to conceive, to perceive, and to be self-aware” and is the...

To overcome this paucity, this study investigates the phenomenological characteristics of hallucinations in the general population, by using a nationally promoted online survey to assess hallucination phenomenology in four sensory modalities, through a...

Frontiers in Bioscience April 1, 2022 Ryo Kato, Ryo Takenaka, Takuya Matsumoto

Foucault’s idea of the predominance of dreaming...
