Abstract

Differentiating PRIMARY CONSCIOUSNESS from superior one, EDELMAN explains the first by perceptual categorization and value-category memory, while explaining the latter by language. He explicates the connection between perceptions and the subject’s function by brain map as a phenomenological informational space. His idea leads to the rejection of modularity theory, the denial of the subject as a metaphysical entity, an instrumental approach to popular psychology, and a defense of scientific psychology. EDELMAN considers property dualism and EXPLANATORY GAP to be pseudo-problems in the philosophy of mind without having right understanding of them.The authors criticize him on his explanation of PRIMARY CONSCIOUSNESS by memory, because memory has nothing for representing without mental experiences. Furthermore, a subject cannot be explained merely by brain map, because any mental space is in need of a meta-space, and the brain map will never exist.
