Consciousness
William G. Lycan
This text presents a review of the diverse philosophical views on consciousness - including those of Kripke, Block, Campbell, Sellars, and Casteneda and demonstrates how each opposing view can be accommodated in the author’s framework of belief, an original theory of mind he calls homuncular functionalism. Lycan argues that human beings are functionally organized information-processing systems who do not have non-physical parts. However, he also recognizes the subjective phenomenal quality of the mind, an important sense in which mind is over and above mere chemical matter.
