Ridiculing social constructivism about phenomenal consciousness
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 22 (1):199-201 (1999)
Abstract
Money is a cultural construction, leukemia is not. In which category does phenomenal consciousness fit? The issue is clarified by a distinction between what cultural phenomena causally influence and what culture constitutes. Culture affects phenomenal consciousness but it is ridiculous to suppose that culture constitutes it, even in part.Author's Profile
