Robert Stalnaker on Experience - Dictionary of Arguments
I 219 Inner experiences/Wittgenstein/Stalnaker: 1. Wittgenstein is skeptical about the inner experience. 2. VerificationismVsInternalism. >VerificationismVsinternalism. Cf. >Inner objects, >Mentalism, >Mental Objects. Example: Inverted Spectra/Stalnaker: If this were possible, how could we report about it? Both persons (one of whom would have reversed spectra) would call red things red. The only thing that would be different would be the inner experiences, experiences that we cannot even compare because we are not in the position to do so. Recently the problem is being taken more seriously again. This raises above all problems of VsFunctionalism and VsMaterialism. It has consequences for the notion of mind, or that of consciousness and intentionality. >Inverted spectra/Stalnaker, >Other Minds, >Functionalism._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
