 The second type of objection to neutral monism argues that neutral monism cannot accommodate experience. The argument is driven by two deep metaphysical convictions. First, experience cannot be reduced to (or constructed from) the non-experiential; second, strong emergence (see section  8.4  below) is unintelligible. Assuming that the neutral must be non-experiential, it follows that the neutral monist world has no room for experience. Galen Strawson has wielded this argument against all forms of traditional materialism, and occasionally also against neutral monism (see Strawson 1994: 46–54, 96–99; Strawson 2016.).
