Product Information
Many philosophers doubt that one can provide any successful explanation of sensory qualities - of how things look, feel, or seem to a perceiving subject. To provide such an explanation, one would need to explain qualitative facts in non-qualitative terms. Attempts to construct such explanations have seemed, in principle, doomed.Austen Clark examines the strategy used in psychophysics, psychometrics, and sensory neurophysiology to explain qualitative facts. He argues that this strategy could succeed: its structure is sound, and it can answer the various philosophical objections lodged against it. On this basis Professor Clark presents an analysis of senosry qualities that offers the possibility of explaining at least some qualia, and he sketches how this scheme might eventually reduce to neurophysiology. If he is correct, we are not doomed to an eternity of mere acquaintance with our qualia.

Reviews
clearly written, informative and stimulating . . . Its major contribution ... is to have presented a fruitful and interesting way to think about the qualitative character of experience. It may not change minds about the standard arguments against physicalistic theories of qualia, but, in my view, it should., 'In Sensory Qualities, Austen Clark explains clearly and in useful detail the statistical techniques used for psychophysiologists to construct various sensory quality spaces.'Philosophical Psychology, "An interesting account of how the indiscriminability of sensory qualities fixes their place in a "quality space," an abstract structure specifying particular sensory qualities in terms of the kinds of ways in which they can discriminably differ."--Times Literary Supplement "Besides offering us the most useful account of sensory qualities to have yet appeared, Clark shows himself to be a clear and sure-footed expositor of the empirical and theoretical apparatus he employs....will appeal particularly to veterans of the qualia wars who hunger and thirst after real data, worked-out examples, and minimal hand-waving."--Philosophy and Phenomenological Research "The presentation is informative and well argued, providing the best philosophical explication that I have seen of the conceptual structure of standard psychophysical explanation. Furthermore, Clark makes excellent use of another important work largely neglected in the qualia literature, Nelson Goodman's The Structure of Appearance....Sensory Qualities is thus an important and much-needed contribution to the philosophy of psychology, one that subsequent discussions of qualia cannot afford to ignore."--The Philosophical Review "Psychologists may be pleasantly surprised to discover that Clark not only takes the questions of sensory qualia seriously but is eager to assert, without resorting to eliminative materialism, that psycho-physical and physiological evidence can be mustered to help "explain qualia." To those, like me, who sympathize with his approach, Clark ministers an agreeable marriage between philosophy and neuroscience."--Contemporary Psychology, 'Timely and welcome ...

It will appeal particularly to veterans of the qualia wars who hunger and thirst after real data, worked-out examples, and minimal hand-waving., 'he cogently shows how psychophysiological data and theory may help resolve, or at least constrain the solutions to, several pervasive philosophical issues regarding sensory qualities.'Contemporary Psychology'In Sensory Qualities, Austen Clark explains clearly and in useful detail the statistical techniques used for psychophysiologists to construct various sensory quality spaces.'Philosophical Psychology'Timely and welcome ...
