Given the assumption of the exhaustive adequacy of physical reduction, Graziano would appear to be quite correct in his assessment that the idea of any "left over" phenomenon, after correlation of conscious states with the relevant physical processes, is "physically incoherent". On the same assumptions, we clearly cannot cite any *judgement* to the contrary as evidence of any such supernumerary phenomenon, as any such judgement must likewise be nomologically entailed by physical law. If so, what reason can you cite for believing that there is any such thing? David -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
