Can conscious experience be described accurately? Can we give reliable accounts of our sensory experiences and pains, our inner speech and imagery, our felt emotions? The question is central not only to our humanistic understanding of who we are but also to the burgeoning scientific field of consciousness studies. The two authors of Describing Inner Experience disagree on the answer: Russell Hurlburt, a psychologist, argues that improved methods of introspective reporting make accurate accounts of inner experience possible; Eric Schwitzgebel, a philosopher, believes that any introspective reporting is inevitably prone to error. In this book the two discuss to what extent it is possible to describe our inner experience accurately. Hurlburt and Schwitzgebel recruited a subject, "Melanie," to report on her conscious experience using Hurlburt's Descriptive Experience Sampling method (in which the subject is cued by random beeps to describe her conscious experience). The heart of the book is Melanie's accounts, Hurlburt and Schwitzgebel's interviews with her, and their subsequent discussions while studying the transcripts of the interviews. In this way the authors' dispute about the general reliability of introspective reporting is steadily tempered by specific debates about the extent to which Melanie's particular reports are believable. Transcripts and audio files of the interviews will be available on the MIT Press website. Describing Inner Experience? is not so much a debate as it is a collaboration, with each author seeking to refine his position and to replace partisanship with balanced critical judgment. The result is an illumination of major issues in the study of consciousness--from two sides at once.Life and mind.ConsciousnessIntrospectionElectronic books.Consciousness.Introspection.153Hurlburt Russell T948014Schwitzgebel Eric948015MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910452004603321Describing inner experience2142781UNINA05307nam 2200649 450 991083079860332120180504123513.01-282-01046-897866120104603-527-60850-83-527-61445-1(CKB)1000000000377309(EBL)481710(OCoLC)85821080(SSID)ssj0000167843(PQKBManifestationID)11170237(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000167843(PQKBWorkID)10178428(PQKB)11641277(MiAaPQ)EBC481710(PPN)199229058(EXLCZ)99100000000037730920160816h20062006 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrHandbook of meningococcal disease infection biology, vaccination, clinical management /edited by Matthias Frosch and Martin C.
