Philosophers think one way, but fathers think another. I can hardly doubt there are sensations being registered inside this boy, willed actions initiated, memories retrieved. However disorganized his life may be, he's surely not totally unconscious . Yet I realize I can't leave it there. The problem is that if there are these experiences occurring in the baby boy, they presumably have to belong to an experiencer .
Every experience has to have a corresponding subject whose experience it is.
An experience is impossible without an experient. The inner world presupposes the person whose inner world it is. But, if that's the case, I wonder what to make of it. Not yet being one person, perhaps he is in fact many . I confess I find it hard to see how it would work.
