- Projecting the trees but ignoring the forest: brief critique of Alfredo Pereira Jr.’s target paper Gregory Michael Nixon Filosofía Projection Hard problem Neutral monism Intersubjectivity Cultural construction Pereira’s “The projective theory of consciousness” is an experimental statement, drawing on many diverse sources, exploring how consciousness might be produced by a projective mechanism that results both in private selves and an experienced world. Unfortunately, pulling together so many unrelated sources and methods means none gets full attention. Furthermore, it seems to me that the uncomfortable breadth of this paper unnecessarily complicates his project; in fact it may hide what it seeks to reveal. If this conglomeration of diverse sources and methods were compared to trees, the reader may feel like the explorer who cannot see the forest for the trees. Then again, it may be the author who is so preoccupied with foreground figures that the everpresent background is ultimately obscured. 2018 artículo científico 0101-3173 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=384272842014 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3842 Trans/Form/Ação application/pdf Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho Trans/Form/Ação (Brasil) Vol.41
