Abstract
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.
