This title announces a discussion on some thorny issues in the theory of consciousness and the part that aesthetic experience may play in understanding the nature of human consciousness. In order to effect a discussion alternate views of consciousness will be posed by an identity known as the Constructive Reductor. In addition to this mysterious being, Dr. Joe Ferguson a clinical psychologist will comment as well. This looks like a lively format for some interesting discussion. I will be arguing for the importance of aesthetic experience in all of this and I imagine that Dr. Joe will offer some fascinating clinical points of view while the Constructive Reductor will take some extreme positions, I assume this from what he has written in an earlier dialog in the comment section on this blog.
