Understanding Phenomenal Consciousness

Cambridge University Press eBooks March 29, 2004 William S. Robinson 108 citations

William S. Robinson presents a dualistic theory of mind called Qualitative Event Realism, which argues against dominant materialist views by focusing on sensory experiences such as pain, afterimages, colors, sounds, and odors. The theory is relevant to the development of a science of consciousness pursued by philosophers, psychologists, and brain scientists. The book is aimed at students and professionals in the philosophy of mind and has cross-disciplinary appeal in cognitive psychology and the brain sciences.
