Temporally Token-Reflexive Experiences
ثبت نشده
چکیده
John Searle has argued that all perceptual experiences are token-reflexive, in the sense that they are constituents of their own veridicality conditions. Many philosophers have found the kind of token-reflexivity he attributes to experiences, which I will call causal token-reflexivity, unfaithful to perceptual phenomenology. In this paper, I develop an argument for a different sort of token-reflexivity in perceptual (as well as some nonperceptual) experiences, which I will call temporal token-reflexivity, and which ought to be phenomenologically unobjectionable.

Indexicals as Token-Reflexives
Reichenbachian approaches to indexicality contend that indexicals are "token-reflexives": semantic rules associated with any given indexical-type determine the truth-conditional import of properly produced tokens of that type relative to certain relational properties of those tokens. Such a view may be understood as sharing the main tenets of Kaplan's well-known theory regarding content, or tru...
متن کاملIndexical Identification: A Perspectival Account
It is widely agreed that the references of indexical expressions are fixed partly by their relations to contextual parameters such as the author, time, and place of the utterance. Because of this, indexicals are sometimes described as token-reflexive or utterance-reflexive in their semantics. But when we inquire into how indexicals help us to identify items within experience, we find that while...
متن کاملTokens, Dates And Tenseless Truth Conditions
There are two extant versions of the new tenseless theory of time: the date version and the token-reflexive version. I ask whether they are equivalent, and if not, which of them is to be preferred. I argue that they are not equivalent, that the date version is unsatisfactory, and that the token-reflexive version is correct. I defend the tokenreflexive version against a string of objections from...
متن کاملManipulating the information carried by an optical beam with reflexive photorefractive beam coupling
A two-beam coupling interaction of an information-bearing beam with a copy of itself in a photorefractive medium changes the spatiotemporal nature of the beam. We analyze the reflexive coupling of an informationbearing beam carrying two or more spatiotemporal signals, using a one-dimensional model. We find that the statistical information content of the beam can be increased or decreased by use...

Concerning the versions of the Tenseless Theory of Time, the Old Btheory has two: the Date-analysis version and the Token-reflexive version, while the New B-theory has three: the Date-analysis, the Token-reflexive and the Sentence-type versions. Each of these five versions of the B-theory has received serious attacks from the A-theorists, some of whom even claim that the tenseless theory “thoug...
