- W2022204148 abstract "Exactly what is McGinn saying when he claims that we cannot solve the mind-body problem? Just what is cognitively closed to us? The text suggests at least four possibilities: (A) we are cognitively closed to the brain property in virtue of which the brain is the basis of consciousness, (B) we are cognitively closed to recognizing that brain property as the property in virtue of which the brain is the basis of consciousness, (C) we are cognitively closed to the nature of the relation holding between consciousness and the brain, and (D) we are cognitively closed to how it is that brains generate consciousness. Finer distinctions might be made, and we could get a whole flock of closure candidates flying, but these are the likeliest possibilities. In what follows, I work through each them in some detail, and I come to two principal conclusions. First, by McGinn's own understanding of the mind-body problem, he needs to show (D) that we are cognitively closed to how brains generate consciousness, but he argues for something else, (A) that we are cognitively closed to the brain property in virtue of which the brain is the basis of consciousness. Second, it turns out that McGinn is not entitled to (A), (B), (C), or (D). Nothing he says gets him the conclusion that we cannot solve the mind-body problem, given any of these interpretations of what is cognitively closed to us. I begin with his understanding of the mind-body problem. It is obvious from the first page of McGinn 1991 that McGinn wants to prove that some version of (D) is true, that we are cognitively closed to how brains generate consciousness. He writes:" @default.
