Description

The Phenomenal and the Representational by Jeffrey Speaks explores two fundamental aspects of human experience: consciousness and representation. We are distinct from objects like tables and chairs in that we possess minds, which gives rise to phenomenal properties - experiences that are unique to us.

Speaks also examines our capacity for representation, where we mentally model the world around us, instantiating representational properties. He tackles three key questions: What constitutes these properties? How do they relate to one another? His work offers a nuanced understanding of the intricate connection between our subjective experience and our ability to conceptualize reality.
