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 jobit distinguishes, in wholly naturalistic terms, between what we experience (reality) and how we experience it (appearance)in 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 likesee oxfam website for delivery information read more"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 naturalismcombined with an evolutionary account of sensory representation, the result is a completely naturalistic account of phenomenal consciousnesscentral 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 consciousnesschapter 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 lifeone must understand what the mind's job is and how this task can be performed by a physical system - the nervous system

I purchased them at considerable expense, not to hang up at my abode but for me to carry out a really quite thrilling sub-project of my making recordings of natural soundscapesi called that sub-project 'wind chimes in the wild', and took chimes out into wild places (usually high up in the teign gorge) and made long recordings of them - both single sets and various combinations - in spacious natural soundscapesthese are seriously musical! size for size, woodstock chimes are physically relatively light, being relatively thin-walled, and their tone has a delightful light and airy quality, with a pleasant shimmer of harmonics - though some people rather ignorantly dismiss the tone as 'tinny' (i most certainly don't!)the interactions of the different scales produced beautiful to hair-raisingly other-worldly musical effectsdo come and listen before deciding whether to buy! read morethis is one of a collection of high-grade precision-tuned chimes that i'm selling off at this timeit has an intriguingly melancholic sound - and if put together with chimes tuned to the pentatonic scale, the very beautiful effect can be one of a really intense sadnessbut since i came to the end of that project the chimes are all redundant, as i can't use any of them for their normal purpose in my sort of abode!:-) personal collection only, full payment in cash, non-negotiablemade by woodstock chimes in the usa, this is a high-grade precision-tuned set, tuned to a what is described as an ancient greek scale - though i recognise it as being similar if not identical to the scale widely used in japanese koto music
