Internalism and the Limits of Twin Earth Scenarios: A Study of
Phenomenal Intentionalism explores visual perceptual experiences and
whether nor not visual intentional content is internal or external.
Coming from the standpoint of phenomenal intentionalism, this book
assumes that phenomenal consciousness is internal to the subject of a
perceptual experience. Jan Almäng argues that the structure of the
phenomenal character of visual experiences sets certain limits with
respect to whether Twin Earth thought experiments can be successful,
suggesting that while Twin Earth thought experiments are successful
for entities such as colours, they fail with respect to more complex
geometrical structures. Because visual perceptual experiences
represent in an analogue manner, this prevents certain kinds of Twin
Earth scenarios from being successful. Almäng then argues that some
phenomenal intentional content is internal. If visual experiences have
a perspectival structure, that this by necessity means that they are
intentional.
