Marha said in Dec.,21, quote:
"Since experience is value, the most basic components of any
'experience' would seem to be intellectual, social, biological &
inorganic patterns of value (experience), and the code of art
level. This seems so obvious. Am I missing something?"
Marsha, I don't think you are missing something, only that you are a bit ahead
of me. I might get there…eventually.
The key word here may be 'any'. If one is talking of 'any experience', that
is a higher level of abstraction than talking of 'a' (particular) experience.
Let's say that in a particular experience the components are A,B,C,D, E, F…etc.
From that list we group A,C and E into a class or type that we call social, B
and F as biological and so on. That is, we impose a certain order to a random
list of components, by classifying them into classes. That's why I say you are
ahead of me; I was thinking first merely at the level of A,B,C. considered as
mental states(and/or phenomenal states?).
Instead of 'any' experience I'd like to consider first a particular
experience ( I have a weakness for monographs) in this case 'a' music
experience, considered as a conscious, perceptual experience. (Dainton's:
Stream of Consciousness, Unity and Continuity in Conscious Experience)
Take, for instance, B for attention, D for perception, E for acknowledgment;
whether attention is intellectual or biological is one line of enquiry. Whether
attention is a component of experience and, if so, which role does it play and
how important this role might be, is another line of enquiry (the one I
intended to pursue). Goes without saying that I haven't set forth to rediscover
the wheel, the field has been well ploughed. As I said, I was just expounding.
