Philosophy of mind, Chapter 1 What is the conscious mind?
Mental states
1. Conscious experiences. Our first type of mental state is formed by phenomenal
experiences, which is how something feels, appears to us and how something is
experienced (like the what-it-is-likeness). Nagel supported this. Qualia are the
qualitative aspects of phenomenal experiences.
2. Cognitive state. Intentionality is the property of being about something (aboutness),
a type of representation. Propositional attitudes have intentionality, it is about
something, like ‘i know i like coffee’. Propositional attitudes are stances taken toward
a proposition. They are discrete entities: one PA doesnt change a PA towards
something else.
3. Emotion. Has both what-it-is-likeness and aboutness, like the feeling of being in love
has a phenomenal feel (qualia) and it is about something as well (intentionality).
The states of the unconscious mind can become conscious given the right circumstances,
like memories.
The mind-body problem
Three problems:
1. How do phenomenal experiences fit into the physical worlds?
2. How do cognitive states fit into the physical world?
3. How do emotions fit into the physical world?
Turn into two problems:
1. How does qualia fit into the physical world?
2. How does intentionality fit into the physical world?
