I'm a little confused (of course). The post seems to be a work in philosophy, albeit the philosophy *of* psychology. And that's fine. But if psychology is empirical, the discussion I would *look for* would include methods and data. No methods, no data => no psychology.
Can we devise an *actual* experiment (not some mind game) we could execute if we got funding that would distinguish the methods of experience-monism versus any other type of psychological experimentation? How does your perspective *change* the design of experiments? I can sympathize with an attempt to tell the story from the beginning, including describing some creation myth(s) from long ago. But if your target is psychologists (as opposed to philosophers), then the story will *land* better if you tell the story in that language ... with experiments and data. An approach I like to use is to strictly choose 1 particular experiment. Examine their methods. Then describe a *new* experiment with method changes intended to test the [meta]theoretical commitments behind both sets of methods. Here's an example I learned about this morning. But maybe this isn't what you call "psychology". So I can imagine it's not appropriate for your purposes. Representation of spatial orientation by the intrinsic dynamics of the head-direction cell ensemble: a theory https://www.jneurosci.org/content/16/6/2112 Data was taken from the following. So that's where we'd look for method particulars: Head direction cells recorded in the anterior thalamic nuclei of freely moving rats https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7823153/ On 4/26/26 3:16 PM, Nicholas Thompson wrote:
