In two recent publications I argued against Nemirow and Lewis that the
re is distinctive, irreducibly phenomenal and perspectival information
of the sort alleged by Jackson; bur I gave an account of such informa
tion that is entirely compatible with a materialist view of human subj
ects. Hershfield argues that the latter account is inadequate, in that
it fails to support the claim that the information it characterizes i
s irreducibly phenomenal or perspectival. I reply that Hershfield's co
nclusion does not follow from his argument's premises.
