The Argument from Understanding for Property Dualism About Experiential Properties

Watch a one-hour conference talk from the Models of Consciousness Conference exploring the philosophical argument for property dualism regarding experiential properties. Delve into the concept of pure experiential properties - properties of experiencing subjects that are purely phenomenally constituted and defined by how it feels to have them. Learn how thinkers who directly experience these properties can form phenomenal concepts about them based on what it's like to have such experiences. Examine the thesis of phenomenal essentialism, which argues that certain phenomenal concepts give complete access to understanding what it means to possess that experiential property. Follow the development of an argument for dualism that concludes that experiential properties cannot be reduced to purely physical conditions.
