Qualia (Part 3): Daniel Dennett and Frank Jackson on Mental Experience

In this third episode of a four part series, I first take a brief sojourn into a story involving the unlikely pair of AJ Ayer and Mike Tyson.  Then, I get into the meat of the episode by diving deeper into the work of Daniel Dennett and his criticism of the very notion of qualia and I also touch on some of its similarities to the Private Language Argument of Ludwig Wittgenstein. To counter this criticism of qualia, I then look at a well known thought experiment by Frank Jackson that argues that our mental experience forms an ineliminable part of our epistemology.
