The experience of newness and the newness of experience. An analysis of the methodological foundations of the theory of sense experience with particular emphasis on the phenomenon of new conscious experiences
Abstract
In the article I analyze the methodological foundations of the theory of sense experience with particular emphasis on the phenomenon of new conscious experiences. I consider the value of solutions proposed thus far and I present my own solution. In searching for an answer to the problem of the reality and character of new sense experiences, I consider, among other things, Jackson’s argument from knowledge and I discuss the results of experimental studies.
