 Searle and Tye are leading current advocates of NEP. Searle ([2000] 2002: 56) ventures that “maybe it is wrong to think of consciousness as made up of parts at all”. For one has a “single, unified, conscious field containing visual, auditory, and other aspects” and “there is no such thing as a separate visual consciousness” ([2000] 2002: 55). Do “visual experiences stand to the whole field of consciousness in the part-whole relation?” ([2000] 2002: 54). No, says Searle (though he may do some backsliding later in the article).
