Describing Inner Experience? Proponent Meets Skeptic
نویسندگان
چکیده
This book is a treat. A psychologist (Hurlburt) and a philosopher (Schwitzgebel) join forces to interview a young college graduate (Melanie). They ask Melanie what she experiences at randomly selected times. They debate what Melanie reports and what can be learned from it. They often disagree -but in a candid, humble, and open-minded way. Their imaginative and insightful dialogue, lightly edited, is transcribed in this book. It is an invigorating challenge to philosophers and psychologists alike.
