Subjective facts
It is sometimes argued that the subjective character of experience gives
a reason to reject physicalism, the doctrine that everything is
physical. The argument is that the existence of subjective facts shows
that not all facts are physical. I argue that this way of arguing makes
physicalism too easy to refute; since there plainly are subjective facts
in the relevant sense,physicalists would be better advised not to
express their view as the view that all facts are physical. But how then
should physicalism be expressed?
