Paul M. Livingston - Philosophical History and the Problem of Consciousness
Published: 2004-07-26 | ISBN: 0521838207, 0521122678 | PDF | 294 pages | 1.25 MB
The problem of explaining consciousness today depends on the meaning of language: the ordinary language of consciousness in which we define and express our sensations, thoughts, dreams and memories. Paul Livingston argues that this contemporary problem arises from a quest that developed over the twentieth century, and that historical analysis provides new resources for understanding and resolving it. Accordingly, Livingston traces the application of characteristic practices of analytic philosophy to problems about the relationship of experience to linguistic meaning.
