Dear all, Just a reminder that the mental sciences group meets this afternoon from 3:00 to 4:30 p.m. in the philosophy faculty board room, when Erlend Owesen will lead a session titled "Radical Eliminativism about Phenomenal Consciousness” (please note the change of title from that previously advertised). The abstract is below. All are welcome.
I defend radical eliminativism about phenomenal consciousness – the view that phenomenal consciousness neither exists nor introspectively seems to exist. The motivation for this theory is that it solves the hard problem and dissolves the meta-problem of consciousness. I contrast it with a recently much discussed form of eliminativism, illusionism – the view that phenomenal consciousness does not exist, but nevertheless, introspectively seems to exist, and argue that radical eliminativism has advantages over illusionism.
