Abstract

This paper suggests that reference to phenomenal qualities is best understood as involving iconicity, that is, a passage from sign-vehicle to object that exploits a similarity between the two. This contrasts with a version of the ‘phenomenal concept strategy’ that takes indexicality to be central. However, since it is doubtful that phenomenal qualities are capable of causally interacting with anything, indexical reference seems inappropriate. While a theorist like David Papineau is independently coming to something akin to iconicity, I think some of the awkwardness that plagues his account would be remedied by transitioning to a more inclusive philosophy of signs.

Cet article suggère que la référence aux qualités phénoménales devrait être conçue comme mettant à l’œuvre l’iconicité, c’est-à-dire un passage de véhicule à objet qui exploite une similarité entre les deux. Ceci s’oppose à une version de la «stratégie des concepts phénoménaux» selon laquelle l’indexicalité jouerait un rôle central. Or, étant donné qu’il est peu probable que les qualités phénoménales soient capables d’interagir avec quoi que ce soit, la référence indiciaire semble ne pas convenir. Quoi qu’un théoricien tel David Papineau parvienne indépendamment à quelque chose de semblable à l’iconicité, je crois que certains aspects problématiques qui accompagnent sa théorie se dissiperaient si l’on adoptait une philosophie du signe plus englobante.
