Title: "Qualia Theory of Pain Redux"

Abstract: In philosophy of perception, representationalism has been the most popular view in the last 30 years or so. Most representationalists developed and defended their views by taking visual experiences as their main model. I will argue against all forms of (strong) representationalism by using a different model: intransitive bodily sensations such as pains and itches. The idea is that if representationalism fails in these cases, it fails simpliciter. I will then outline an alternative view which combines various elements from the tradition: An adverbialist-friendly qualia-theory of pain that is weakly intentionalist and completely naturalist (physicalist/reductionist) that can be scaled up to model all perceptual experiences.
