BOOK REVIEW: UNDERSTANDING AND CONSCIOUS EXPERIENCE. PHILOSOPHICAL AND SCIENTIFIC PERSPECTIVES

Summary/Abstract: When it comes to the most common terms, those that we use on a daily basis, philosophy seems to have a hard time defining them. It is not that we do not have a grasp of those concepts, but rather that we cannot provide a satisfactory definition, one that can easily be generalised and used in different domains. First, it was ‘truth’. Then, ‘meaning’ followed. ‘Understanding’ had to be on the team as well. These are terms that are used daily, but they also have an important role in the scientific and formal knowledge. Therefore, it is not an unfounded philosophical work, it is a much needed one, that also impacts non-philosophical fields.
