Abstract

In this part, we presume a world which is much as our experience seems to reveal but which incorporates the resources of contemporary neurophysiology, where there are phenomenal colors splashed over things and neurons in our heads. Neurophysiological resources are deployed, along with phenomenal colors, in the coherently conceivable but not ultimately plausible account of the realization of our experience developed in Chapter Twelve. And they are the primary resources deployed in the apparently plausible account of the realization of thought beyond experience developed in Chapter Thirteen, an account which fits not only the coherently conceivable account of experience developed in Chapter Twelve, but also the more plausible accounts pursued in Part Three.
