...Robert Van Gulick In “Absent Qualia and the Mind-Body Problem,” Michael Tye (2006) presents an argument by which he claims to show the inconceivability of beings that are functionally equivalent to phenomenally conscious beings but lack any qualia. On that basis, he concludes that qualia can...

... is equivalent to the assignment of a stably high rational degree of belief. Although the logical closure of belief and the Lockean thesis are attractive postulates in themselves, initially this may seem like a formal “curiosity”; however, as will be argued in the rest of the essay, a very reasonable theory...

In the latter half of the paper I turn to some technical questions concerning the treatment of quantification and demonstrate various equivalences between the diagrammatic and logical representations and a fragment of the λ -calculus.

... in the case of (84a) but not in the case of the semantically equivalent (83a). (One possibility is that this assumption holds for a given sentence just in case that sentence is nowhere embedded under an overt modal. But this can't be right, since embedding (84a) under a modal does not improve it.) 75...

Second, there is pluralism : no single measure satisfies all the conditions that an adequate measure of causal strength should possess. This is perhaps the default view. After all, intuitions about complex concepts such as causal strength may...

... something with the same type as M . Higher-order logic—more specifically, the principle β -equivalence discussed below—allows us to prove the identity ( λM ) c 1 … c n = M . Thus we may think of M as being defined out of the constants c 1 … c n via the logical operation λM . In order...

In addition, both Putnam and Hirsch, in different ways, use their views to argue that ontological disputes are insubstantial, and this has led to a close association of quantifier variance...

We will abstractly consider a relation of evidential equivalence between centers: intuitively, this means that the agents of the two centers are exactly alike in whatever respects are relevant to the probabilities they should assign to qualitative hypotheses...
