Newton's Sleep
Clark offers a straightforward response to those who argue that qualitative aspects of experience (qualia) are fundamentally subjective and therefore in principle not subject to scientific explanation. His response is to grant that there are fundamentally subjective aspects of experience, but point out that not only is it not in principle impossible to give a scientific explanation of such aspects, but that there in fact ALREADY IS a scientific study of such aspects, namely psychophysics.
