You are invited to comment on the following paper in the National Humanities Center Forum
"On the Human" http://onthehuman.org/
DOING, FEELING, MEANING, EXPLAINING
http://onthehuman.org/2011/04/doing-feeling-meaning-explaining/
"The problem of explaining causally how and why we can do what we can do
has lately come to be called the “easy” problem. The mind/body problem
has lately come to be called the “hard” problem. In Doing, Feeling,
Meaning and Explaining, I formulate this as the problem of explaining
how and why we feel. I give some reasons why I think it is impossible to
solve the hard problem, but commentators are invited to give it a go!"
