Well, if we reject that claim, then we’re kinda stuck saying that if there are qualia, they are somewhere to be found within that chain of causation. And if there’s nothing to be found in the chain of causation that looks like qualia,
If you start from the assumption that only “outside”—third person ,objective—evidence counts , then it is easy to come to the conclusion that only physical causation counts. Qualia are found in the chain, subjectively, because , subjectively, they seem to cause things.
I don’t really understand what you’re getting at, and I suspect it would take more than one sentence for me to get it. If there’s an article or other piece of writing that you’d suggest I read, please let me know. :-)
Looks from the inside. or looks from the outside?
I guess outside, see my comment about the watch for what I was trying to get at there.
