Can conscious experience be described accurately? Can we give reliable accounts of our sensory experiences and pains, our inner speech and imagery, our felt emotions? The question is central not only to our humanistic understanding of who we are but also to the burgeoning scientific field of consciousness studies. The two authors of Describing Inner Experience disagree on the answer: Russell Hurlburt, a psychologist, argues that improved methods of introspective reporting make accurate accounts of inner experience possible; Eric Schwitzgebel, a philosopher, believes that any introspective reporting is inevitably prone to error. In this book the two discuss to what extent it is possible to describe our inner experience accurately. Hurlburt and Schwitzgebel recruited a subject, "Melanie," to report on her conscious experience using Hurlburt's Descriptive Experience Sampling method (in which the subject is cued by random beeps to describe her conscious experience). The heart of the book is Melanie's accounts, Hurlburt and Schwitzgebel's interviews with her, and their subsequent discussions while studying the transcripts of the interviews. In this way the authors' dispute about the general reliability of introspective reporting is steadily tempered by specific debates about the extent to which Melanie's particular reports are believable. Transcripts and audio files of the interviews will be available on the MIT Press website. Describing Inner Experience? is not so much a debate as it is a collaboration, with each author seeking to refine his position and to replace partisanship with balanced critical judgment. The result is an illumination of major issues in the study of consciousness--from two sides at once. 001385738 588__ $$aOCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record. 001385738 650_0 $$aConsciousness. 001385738 650_0 $$aIntrospection. 001385738 653__ $$aCOGNITIVE SCIENCES/General 001385738 653__ $$aCOGNITIVE SCIENCES/Psychology/Cognitive Psychology 001385738 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001385738 7001_ $$aSchwitzgebel, Eric. 001385738 852__ $$bebk 001385738 85640 $$3MIT Press$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://doi.org/10.7551/mitpress/7517.001.0001?locatt=mode:legacy$$zOnline Access through The MIT Press Direct 001385738 85642 $$3OCLC metadata license agreement$$uhttp://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf 001385738 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1385738$$pGLOBAL_SET 001385738 980__ $$aBIB 001385738 980__ $$aEBOOK 001385738 982__ $$aEbook 001385738 983__ $$aOnline
