The idea of “ineffable” phenomenal qualities has been criticized, inter alia, as unscientific and empirically unsupported. Against that popular conception, it is here argued that some complex human behavior cannot be explained without accepting the existence of qualia as more or less traditionally understood: ineffable, structurally unanalyzable, and distinctively qualitative properties of our conscious experiences. It is first pointed out that in the domain of art research, it is common to acknowledge the existence of aesthetic properties whose perceived value depends partly on the very fact that they cannot be analyzed in precise structural terms (at least not in the context where their value is recognized). It is then argued that the infamous sensory qualia can have similar psychological effects and significance and that there is no sharp boundary between “simple” qualia and more complex artistic properties. According to the resulting view, qualia and the corresponding artistic properties ought to be accepted as legitimate objects of special sciences—perhaps reducible in some heavily idealized sense, yet indispensable in certain explanatory contexts.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":44390,"journal":{"name":"Acta Analytica-International Periodical for Philosophy in the Analytical Tradition","volume":"41 3","pages":"619 - 637"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s12136-026-00682-6.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148903579","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Percepts are cast as solutions of an optimization that combines sensory likelihood, endogenous priors, and a penalty for hypotheses that violate ecological or physical invariances. DCM preserves the positivist insight that the world imposes non-arbitrary constraints while preserving constructivist insight that internal models select among admissible interpretations under uncertainty. The formulation yields clear, falsifiable dissociations: manipulations that degrade invariance structure produce perceptual and early-sensory effects that cannot be mimicked merely by shifting priors. I present explicit operational forms for the invariance penalty, outline empirical designs and analysis procedures, and provide concrete criteria under which DCM is empirically distinguishable from pure-prior or pure-constraint accounts. The argument is presented as a theoretical synthesis rather than a definitive resolution, recognizing that empirical and philosophical questions remain open.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":44390,"journal":{"name":"Acta Analytica-International Periodical for Philosophy in the Analytical Tradition","volume":"41 3","pages":"803 - 814"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2026-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148903556","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I argue that (a) Frege’s epistemological argument against the metalinguistic view of identity is inconclusive, (b) he fails to argue for the plausibility and strength of the objectual view of identity, (c) any acknowledgement by Frege that, in general, the cognitive value of true statements of the form “<span>(a = b)</span>” is not negatively affected by the arbitrariness of the name-object relation would have amounted to a concession that the metalinguistic view of identity statements is epistemologically on a par with the objectual view, i.e. that both views allow a plausible explanation of the fact that such statements, unlike statements of the form “<span>(a = a)</span>”, often contain a piece of valuable knowledge. I argue that in his mature period after 1892, Frege was right in calling into question the “coincidence view of (ordinary) proper names” according to which the sense of a proper name coincides with the sense of a “privileged” coreferential definite description. I also comment on the sense of a concept-script proper name as well as on Frege’s transformation of a metalinguistic, but non-definitional stipulation of coreferentiality into an objectual identity in <i>Grundgesetze</i> I. In the penultimate section, I discuss the question of whether the objectual view of identity was a <i>conditio sine qua non</i> for Frege’s attempt to establish the analyticity of (true) non-trivial arithmetical equations.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":44390,"journal":{"name":"Acta Analytica-International Periodical for Philosophy in the Analytical Tradition","volume":"41 2","pages":"549 - 588"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2026-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s12136-025-00658-y.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147985142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
