Phenomenal concept strategy : ウィキペディア英語版 | Phenomenal concept strategy The phenomenal concept strategy (PCS) is an approach within philosophy of mind to provide a physicalist response to anti-physicalist arguments like the explanatory gap and philosophical zombies. The name was coined by Daniel Stoljar. As David Chalmers put it, PCS "locates the gap in the relationship between our ''concepts'' of physical processes and our ''concepts'' of consciousness, rather than in the relationship between physical processes and consciousness themselves."〔 The idea is that if we can explain why we ''think'' there's an explanatory gap, this will defuse the motivation to question physicalism.〔 ==Overview==
PCS advocates typically subscribe to〔 what Chalmers has called "type-B materialism", which holds that there is an epistemic but not ontological gap between physics and subjective experience. PCS maintains that our concepts are dualistic, but reality is monistic, in a similar way as "heat" and "molecular motion" are two different concepts that refer to the same property.〔 However, phenomenal concepts are different from other concepts in that they incline us to see an epistemic gap.〔 PCS suggests that physicalist explanations "cannot feel satisfactory () since the concepts used in the physical explanation don't entail any applications of the phenomenal concepts in terms of which the explanandum is characterized."〔 PCS would help physicalists answer the knowledge argument because upon seeing red, Mary would have new thoughts about phenomenal concepts, even though those thoughts would only re-express physical facts she already knew. Likewise, we can conceive of zombies even if they aren't possible because when we think about their functional/physical characteristics, we don't also conjure thoughts about phenomenal concepts.〔 David Papineau coined the term ''antipathetic fallacy'' to refer to the way in which we fail to see phenomenal experience in brain processing. It's the opposite of the pathetic fallacy of seeing consciousness in non-minds.〔
