Sensations

The book is a significant contribution to the philosophy of mind, and has much to say to psychologists and cognitive scientists.

Zusammenfassung
This is a book about sensory states and their apparent characteristics. It confronts a whole series of metaphysical and epistemological questions and presents an argument for type materialism: the view that sensory states are identical with the neural states with which they are correlated.
