My thoughts on the Hard problem of consciousness
#20
RE: My thoughts on the Hard problem of consciousness
Analytic philosophy is generally concerned about the logical structures and relationships within language and then views every other problem through that lens. In practical terms it can deal with problems about beings but not being-as-such. It can look into the contents of consciousness but not consciousness-as-such. I would summarize classical philosophy as talking about truth and analytic philosophy as talking about talking about truth. Then again, I am not an expert on the foundational philosophers like Frege. My focus is elsewhere. I am a conscious being in a phenomenal world. The two are inextricably linked. Everything else, like trying to alienate one from the other (or not), is interpretation.
