YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn this episode Gregg and I return to talk about how Descartes explained the intelligence of non-human animals.
This is interesting because it bring to the fore the question of the relationship between intelligence and consciousness since Descartes claimed that such animals do not have consciousness. We see Descartes proposal what consciousness brings to intelligence. He proposes a function for consciousness that also helps to explain its phenomenological nature. I call this processes aspectualization, and we explore how it is born out in recent experimental work on multiple object tracking. This leads to the distinction between adverbial qualia such as hereness, nowness, togetherness in contrast to adjectival qualia such as greeness or blueness. Such adverbial qualia may help us give an integrated account of both the function and phenomenology of consciousness.
