Ph.D. thesis

In my Ph.D. thesis I argued that constraints upon our ability to recognise the contents of our experience rule out many apparently plausible accounts of experiential content and phenomenal character, i.e. what perceptual experience is subjectively like, the central argument from which is summarised in my paper on ‘Are the Senses Silent? Travis’s Argument from Looks’.

I argue in a follow-up paper that representational content is recognisable to the subject, with important implications for the metaphysics and epistemology of perception.
