Abstract:

What is the conscious mind? What is experience? In 1968, David Armstrong asked
“What is a man?” and replied that a man is “a certain sort of material
object”. This book starts from his question but proceeds along a different
path. The traditional mind-brain identity theory is set aside, and a
mind-object identity theory is proposed in its place: to be conscious of an
object is simply to be made of that object. Consciousness is physical but not
neural.

This groundbreaking hypothesis is supported by recent empirical findings in
both perception and neuroscience, and is herein tested against a series of
objections of both conceptual and empirical nature: the traditional mind-brain
identity arguments from illusion, hallucinations, dreams, and mental imagery.
The theory is then compared with existing externalist approaches including
disjunctivism, realism, embodied cognition, enactivism, and the extended mind.
Can experience and objects be one and the same?
