Very interesting and thought-provoking read, about halfway into it. I started disagreeing with authors at the point where they define conscious experience: I can’t see why it’s contingent on subject’s ability to interact with the outside world, and I don’t follow how subject’s messages to the world can be proved as caused by conscious experience. I suppose I just haven’t yet internalized their definitions (of ‘world’, ‘subject’, etc.), though.
