Understanding phenomenal experience as a natural part of our world. The natural sciences?physics, chemistry and biology?provide compelling accounts of our world. They contain, however, no overt mention of mental states and in particular the mental states with a phenomenology: states like itches and colour experiences. The challenge for naturalists is locate these states within the naturalist picture. This project develops and draws on representationalist accounts of mind to explain how to locate mental states that have a phenomenology within the naturalist's picture. This will yield new perspectives on the mental lives of machines.

将非凡的体验理解为我们世界的自然组成部分。自然科学——物理学、化学和生物学——为我们的世界提供了令人信服的描述。然而，它们没有公开提及精神状态，特别是具有现象学的精神状态：像瘙痒和颜色体验这样的状态。博物学家面临的挑战是在博物学家的图画中找到这些状态。该项目发展并借鉴了表征主义对心灵的描述，以解释如何在自然主义者的图像中定位具有现象学的心理状态。这将为机器的心理生活带来新的视角。
