The basic argument comes in three stages. First I argue that our intuitions about the irreducibility of consciousness are best understood as the product of psychological mechanisms. Second, I characterize the particular psychological mechanisms that produce the intuition of irreducibility. Third, I argue that while these mechanisms generally yield accurate outputs, in the case of consciousness they fail to track truth. The overall lesson is that the explanatory gap is a cognitive illusion, and poses no significant threat to physicalism.

5 DISSERTATION SUMMARY: EXPLAINING THE EXPLANATORY GAP How can cognitive science contribute to philosophical inquiry? On one conception of this relationship, empirical knowledge of the mind can contribute to philosophy in much the same way that linguistic analysis contributed to philosophy in the 20th century. By investigating the cognitive tools we use to frame and answer philosophical questions, we can often illuminate the nature of philosophical problems and identify constraints on their solutions. Thus I m interested in appealing to the psychology of philosophy to generate substantive contributions to philosophical debate. I adopted this broad approach in my dissertation, Explaining the Explanatory Gap. My overall case is a genetic argument that aims to undermine justification in the belief that conscious experience outstrips physical explanation. Arguments that aim to establish metaphysical dualism often proceed from an intuitive explanatory gap, which I call the gap-intuition. It is commonplace for philosophers to take intuitions as data to be explained by our philosophical theories. But we can also understand the gapintuition from the standpoint of psychology. I begin by making a case that treating the explanatory gap as a psychological phenomenon is a productive, desirable, and defensible approach to the problem. This approach contrasts with prevailing accounts, on which the gap-intuition is analyzed in purely a priori terms. The psychological approach is preferable because it is simpler, more conservative, more methodologically tractable, and more conducive to clear standards for adjudicating philosophical debate. To explain our inclination to dualism, I develop an account on which the gap-intuition is generated by a cluster of distinctive psychological capacities. First, the gap-intuition involves a failure to engage our low-level agent-detector, a perceptual capacity that is normally engaged by other humans and animals, but not by brains or informationprocesses described as such. Second, brains and information-processes fail to mesh with our capacity for wielding explanatory heuristics. We deploy these heuristics to quickly and automatically evaluate explanations on the basis of gut-level epistemic feelings, yielding judgments of epistemic adequacy (or inadequacy). I argue that the gap-intuition arises when our agent-detector mechanism systematically fails to categorize brains (and their information-processes) as persons, and consequently our explanatory heuristics generate the gut-level feeling that physicalist explanations are incomplete. I then parlay this psychological account into an undermining argument: the facts about the gap-intuition s origin impugn its epistemic status, and we should not trust it. While we have reason to believe that our capacities for agent-detection and explanatory heuristics are generally quite useful and often trustworthy, in the specific case of the gap-intuition these capacities do not yield truth-tracking outputs. They are prone to error in a manner analogous to visual illusions and biases in decision-making. The overall lesson is that the gap-intuition is a cognitive illusion in a quite literal sense. It would arise whether or not physicalist theories of consciousness are adequate, and would persist even if we came to accept a true physicalist theory of consciousness. Thus we should reject arguments for dualism that proceed from an intuitive explanatory gap. 5 of 5
