| Qualia | Lewis | I (c) 54 Qualia Theory VsMaterialism, functionalism Vs: E.g. you never tried Vegemite (the famous condiment).Therefore you do not know how it is, to taste Vegemite. Neither information on the nature, nor of the materialists and functionalists helps. But when you taste it, you will know how it is. Therefore, there is a kind of information that has been overlooked by materialists and functionalists, the phenomenal information. >Knowing how, >Phenomenalism, >Materialism, >Functionalism/Lewis. I (c) 55 LewisVsQualia-Theory/MaterialismVsPhenomenalism: There is absolutely no such information. Knowledge, as it is, is not at all possession of information. It is not the exclusion of any previously open opportunities. I (c) 55 Knowledge as it is, is rather the possession of skills, not information. From skills to recognize something, imagine, predict behavior. |

| Dennett, D. | Nagel Vs Dennett, D. | Rorty VI 144 Explanation/Dennett/Rorty: it is sufficient to explain why there seems to be something phenomenological, i.e. why it seems to be true "that there is a difference between thinking... that something seems to be pink, and the fact that something really appears to be pink. (!) VsDennett: his critics believe that his book is merely good for explaining away consciousness. Belief/Existence/Dennett/Rorty: should reply that it is a good thing to explain something away, i.e. to declare that we do not have to make room for this something in our image, but only for the belief in that something. NagelVsDennett/Rorty: Procrustes-like adaptation to objectivity. Instead, we should seek an objectivity which connects the position of the first person with that of the third person. First Person/Nagel/Searle/Rorty: (inter alia): knowledge of intrinsic, non-relational properties of mental events. RortyVsNagel/VsSearle: if they accept the maxim: "if all the relational properties are explained (all causes and effects), then the thing itself is explained", they will realize that they lose out here. I 145/146 Nagel: (according to Rorty) therefore he must insist that non-relational properties are impossible reduce to relational ones. Consciousness/Nagel/Rorty: that a human has consciousness is not merely a belief, but a conclusion from evidence. I.e. there is a gap (according to Rorty) between the evidence and the conclusion from the evidence, the gap between the totality of the relations between the consciousness and the rest of the world, and the intrinsic nature of consciousness on the other ahnd. VI 147 NagelVsDennett/Rorty: his "hetero-phenomenology" is not sufficient. Nagel Thesis: the sources of philosophy are pre-linguistic, their problems are not dependent on culture. VI 149 Hetero-Phenomenalism/DennettVsNagel: he should accept the "hetero-phenomenalism" as a neutral description. RortyVsDennett, RortyVsNagel: both missed! Hetero-phenomenalism claims to speak that which Nagel thinks unspeakable. Nagel is right here in accusing him of a petitio principii, because this anticipates the decision about all the interesting questions. DennettVsNagel: perhaps we are only now unable to describe certain things and later we will be! NagelVsDennett: something "else, describable" does not interest me! The indescribable should not be replaced with something describable. VI 150 That would be like trying to ask Kant to recognize the thing as such after the reception of Hegel. VI 151/152 Def Hetero-Phenomenology/Rorty: claims for himself to tell the other what "he actually spoke about". VsQualia, VsUnrecognizable Nature, VsKnowledge that cannot be influenced by way of speaking, (reductionism). (RortyVsDennett: he falsely believes he is neutral). |

| Eliminativism | Shoemaker Vs Eliminativism | Stalnaker I 227 Utility theory/utility/scale/calibration/von Neumann/Morgenstern/Stalnaker: E.g. someone prefers duck before salmon and salmon before oatmeal A > B > C. Refinement of the scale: one asks the person whether he prefers to have B or prefers to have a 50/50 lottery ticket for A v C. Does he select B, it means that B moves closer to the left on his scale, closer to A. This can be repeated for the things at stake in the lottery and thus ever further refinements can be concluded. General: preferences between the lottery tickets define numerical values for the utility But the scale is a conventional: every linear transformation of this scale provides an equivalent, that represents the same facts about the subjective preferences. Question: does it make sense to compare preferences interpersonally? I 228 Utility/Stalnaker: but here it is not about felt pleasure (as a "quality experience"). The numeric values do not represent facts about relations between people. Analogy/Stalnaker: the position VsInterpersonal comparisons is analogous to the question whether grams would be greater or smaller than kilometers. Pointe: that we cannot say this is not because there were facts that were hidden from us. qualitative/intentional/Stalnaker: if we oppose intentional to phenomenal (qualitative) states, it is clear that utility belongs to the intentional side. Utility/analogy/Stalnaker: the question whether one can compare utility interpersonally is complicated and interesting. It is also about whether it is more likely that apply it to social groups. I 229 Utility theory/von Neumann/Morgenstern//Stalnaker: should not be regarded as eliminativistical. According to it there are really facts about the preferences of those represented by the numbers but because the zero point and the units are arbitrary, interpersonal compare have no sense. StalnakerVsShomaker: I am afraid he takes the side of common sense VsFrege because he assumes that Frege is an eliminativist. ShoemakerVsEliminativism. Qualia/secondary qualities/Shoemaker: thesis: we need qualia for facts about our experiences and for secondary qualities. StalnakerVsShoemaker: a purely relational approach is capable of this as well. RelationismVsQualia. |

| Qualia | Functionalism Vs Qualia | Lanz I 293 Functionalism - representation - homunculi - materialism - hierarchy (VsRegress) - Token-Token identity FunctionalismVsQualia problem: (Jaegwon Kim / Davidson): functionalists are materialists because they believe that the bearers of the functional roles are ultimately physical entities. "Token-token identity". VsType-type identity: does not allow for the possibility that one and the same type of mental state is realized in different physical states. (Turing machine). |

| Qualia | Lewis Vs Qualia | I (c) 53 Qualia: The theory of Qualia is the most impressive challenge to materialism and functionalism: according to Qualia, we omit the phenomenal aspect of intellectual life. We forget that pain is a sensation. I (c) 54 Lewis: so far we don't deny anything! LewisVsQualia theory: despite his tendentious jargon, he simply talks about pain and various aspects of its functional role. Part of this causal role is to evoke judgements of the content that one has pain and to recognize it. I (c) 55 LewisVsQualia-Theory/MaterialismVsPhenomenalism: There is no such information at all! Knowing what it's like is not information at all. It is not the exclusion of any previously open possibilities. |

| Qualia | Shoemaker, S. | Staln I 220 Qualia/common sense/Shoemaker: Thesis: Qualia are internal, intrinsic, local but also comparable. Against: Frege/Schlick view. Qualia/Frege/Schlick-View/Shoemaker: Thesis: Qualia are not comparable, because it is pointless to assume that e.g. exchanged spectra represent something communicable at all. Interpersonal comparisons of phenomenal experiences are pointless. Staln I 229 Qualia/Secondary Qualities/Shoemaker: Thesis: we need Qualia for facts about our experiences and for secondary qualities. StalnakerVsShoemaker: a purely relational approach can do that too. RelationismVsQualia. I 233 Interpersonal Identity/Qualia/Functionalism/Shoemaker: thesis: functionalism alone is not sufficient for interpersonal comparisons. Solution/Shoemaker: to explain identity in terms of the identity of the physical properties that realize the Qualia. ((s) So not only the causal role? ("whatever...-"). >Shoemakers Paradox. I 236 Shoemaker: Thesis: the addition of the backup system influences the qualitative character, because it changes the memory mechanisms that are constitutive for the identity conditions for Qualia. Then Alices and Bertha's qualitative experiences differ (see above). Stalnaker: corresponds to I 239 Dualism/Stalnaker: Thesis: it is part of the physical character of things that they have non-physical effects. If they didn't, they would be physically different. If that is true, the possibility of possible worlds with zombies would be ruled out from the beginning. |
