- 2009 May 15, Stevan Harnad, “Knowing Something When You Feel It”, in PhilPapers, Western University (Canada) Department of Philosophy:
- That, by the way, is all I want to exegesize and defend in Tom Nagel's viewpoint. The rest of the hermeneutics of 'viewpoints' is not (in my view) all that relevant, insofar as the explanatory gap (on which Nagel is unaccountably an optimist!) is concerned. Viewpoint is just one of the many manifestations of consciousness and its countless synonyms and paranyms that one can single out and hermeneuticize without making any real inroads on the explanatory gap itself.
