Oxfam bookshop preston how can the baffling problems of phenomenal experience be accounted for? in this discourse fred dretske argues that to achieve an understanding of the mind it is not enough to understand the biological machinery by means of which the mind does its jobone must understand what the mind's job is and how this task can be performed by a physical system - the nervous systemchapter five addresses anticipated philosophical objections to the theorydretske's theory of naturalistic representationalism is an approach to the study of consciousness that can pin down the slippery first-person aspect of our sensory and affective lifesee oxfam website for delivery information read morecombined with an evolutionary account of sensory representation, the result is a completely naturalistic account of phenomenal consciousnessin the first four chapters (the original jean nicod lectures), dretske focuses on what naturalistic representationalism reveals about introspective knowledge, intentionality, qualia, inverted spectra, the biological function of conscious experience, and the possibility of knowing what alien experiences are likecentral to dretske's approach is the claim that the phenomenal aspects of perceptual experiences are one and the same as external, real world properties that experience represents objects as havingthe theory establishes a framework within which subjectivity can be studied objectively, explains the peculiar authority we enjoy about our own mental states, and provides a biologically plausible answer to questions about the function or purpose of consciousnessit distinguishes, in wholly naturalistic terms, between what we experience (reality) and how we experience it (appearance)"naturalizing the mind" skilfully a representational theory of the qualitative, the phenomenal, the what-it-is-like aspects of the mind that have defied traditional forms of naturalism
