Review
Andy Clark A refreshingly progressive recipe for laying wide the doors of sensation Daniel Dennett Humphrey's account leaves open the prospect of a conscious robot Valerie Gray Hardcastle Humphrey has the insight that the ways we describe both our mental states and our brain states are probably wrong Carol Rovane Humphrey's account of the position of qualia in mental life is the most promising and fertile I have seen. I am especially impressed by his pivotal idea that sensation is itself a species of affect-laden intentional activity. This is a genuinely new idea with enormous appeal and explanatory potential, the full measure of which I suspect not even he has taken. Robert van Gilick Humphrey's essay is full of intriguing and original suggestions, pointing out new directions for investigation and probing deep beneath the surface.

Two hundred and fifty years ago Denis Diderot, commenting on what makes a great natural philosopher, wrote: They have watched the operations of nature so often and so closely that they are able to guess what course she is likely to take, and that with a fair degree of accuracy, even when they take it into their heads to provoke her with the most outlandish experiments.
