Let us call the bluish aspect of the experience its qualitative character and the for-me aspect its subjective character. What is this elusive for-me-ness, or subje...

First, I argue that his naturalistic reconstruction of critical realist transcendental arguments shows that transcendental arguments should be treated as a rare curiosity rather than a general argumentative strategy.

متن کاملNaturalizing consciousness: a theoretical framework.
Consciousness has a number of apparently disparate properties, some of which seem to be highly complex and even inaccessible to outside observation. To place these properties within a biological framework requires a theory based on a set of evolutionary and developmental principles. This paper describes such a theory, which aims to provide a unifying account of conscious phenomena.
متن کاملNaturalizing as an error-type in Biology
Biologists make mistakes – but they can also find them and remedy them. I survey a series of cases where idealizations and assumptions about normality have shaped common erroneous biological concepts: male and female; developmental abnormalities; competition in evolution; and laws of nature. Such scientific interpretations of nature can have profound social consequences. Identifying such recurr...
