“Whatever we refer to by 'my experience' when we speak of things being 'present in my experience', it is not what is going on in my brain. Or anywhere else in the world. To what then do we refer? We refer, it seems, to something within which the world is present, but which is not part of the world.”
J.J. Valberg, The Puzzle of Experience

“Schopenhauer remarks (in The World as Will and Representation, ii, ch. 1) that 'materialism is the philosophy of the subject who forgets to take account of himself'. In our terms, we might say that a philosophy which (like materialism) views experience as something occuring in the head, or in the soul, is the philosophy of the subject who forgets to take account of his own experience.”
