| Apr 6, 2023 at 4:44 | comment | added | Double Knot | Merely sitting and watching any representational content in a Cartesian theatre even for a long time perhaps would never gain any virtuous knowledge for Mary since to be able to see the empirical red qualia suddenly now must indicate some sufficient albeit potentially extremely hidden reason for her to enact and utilize said redness in some future for her, in the same manner as the ancient man escaped from the Cave to be able to see the Sun for the first time. Ergo her true acquired knowledge proof is still yet to be checked later... | |
| Apr 4, 2023 at 8:45 | comment | added | Conifold | SEP calls a variant of this the Acquaintance Hypothesis of Conee that postulates "knowledge by acquaintance" as a third category in addition to propositional and ability knowledge. Whether one still calls it "knowledge" or not (as Jackson prefers) is a terminological issue, but AH allows physicalists to avoid the conclusion of the argument. Representationalist interpretations of the "phenomenal perspective" have been given by Tye and Lycan. | |
| Apr 4, 2023 at 8:38 | comment | added | Ludwig V | "new way of absorbing old information" is very persuasive. But it doesn't explain "what it is like to" experience (i.e. see) something as red (as opposed, presumably, to grey). Whether that amounts to knowledge (in the sense that it can be fully expressed in true/false propositions) is the central issue. So I don't think you are missing anything and the proposed answer isn't a full response to the argument. But I don't have a better answer yet. | |
