| summary | Conscious sensory perception is a paradigmatic and relatively well-understood type of conscious experience. Thus, a common theoretical approach in philosophy of mind seeks to reduce all conscious experience to the senses, including all experience of pleasure and pain. I argue that this approach to consciousness is mistaken ; it cannot do justice to the variety and complexity of human experience. To illustrate, I discuss two kinds of non-sensory pleasure and pain : the emotional and the aesthetic. I review some examples of emotional and aesthetic algedonic experience, and I explain why it cannot be reduced merely to the sensory. |
