Description
Knowing What It Is Like investigates one of philosophy’s most intriguing questions: how do we know what experiences are like? This Element in Epistemology provides a comprehensive analysis of phenomenal knowledge and its unique epistemological challenges.
Yuri Cath explores the nature of experiential understanding, examining how subjects acquire knowledge of their own conscious experiences and how this knowledge differs from other forms of knowing. The book addresses fundamental issues including the relationship between phenomenal knowledge and physical knowledge, the role of imagination and memory in understanding experiences, and whether experiential knowledge can be communicated or shared.
Cath considers major theoretical frameworks and contemporary debates in philosophy of mind and epistemology, offering insights into the structure of subjective experience and the limits of our understanding. This accessible yet rigorous treatment will appeal to philosophers, cognitive scientists, and anyone interested in consciousness and the nature of knowledge.
