NEW IDEAS
A dialectic of questions for scientific and philosophical collaboration
Robert Henman
This brief essay raises the issue of whether or not the data of consciousness are accessible. Two positions are presented:
- that they are not accessible and
- that they are.
This unresolved issue has plagued philosophy and cognitional theory for more than a few centuries. Presenting, as a new idea, in that it is time for this issue to be resolved to put the discussion to rest and provide a more viable foundation for the success of the sciences.
