” data, Mary can perceive and recall red. Assuming the Ability Hypothesis is valid, Mary acquires the memorable capacity the experience of seeing red. Subsequent to encountering red interestingly, you can recall the experience, and thusly envision the amusement of seeing red. Lewis additionally contends that one more significant capacity acquired is t’he capacity to perceive. In the event that Mary sees red once more, she will remember it right away. Lewis utilizes the case of Vegemite. Assuming you taste Vegemite sometime in the future, you will recall (or remember) you have tasted it previously. From this, you will actually want to put a name to the taste insight. Lewis additionally contends that these capacities could begin from basically anyplace – even wizardry. His central matter is that experience, not illustrations, is the best technique for realizing what another experience is like. Generally, Lewis concurs that information is acquired from encountering red, yet accepts the information acquired is “skill” data, which is marvelous, and hence physicalism is substantial. Lewis contends that data and capacity are different actual familiarities – therefore physicalism can be valid and reliable with the end that Mary acquires new information.
It is essential to consider Lewis’ enemy of qualia contention. Albeit the Ability Hypothesis might appear to be influential to David Lewis, there are a few shortcomings. To start with, when we are shown a new shading, we really learn data about its overall properties contrasted with different tones (for example likenesses and compatibilities). For instance, we can assess how red is like orange and how it is unique. We likewise become familiar with its effect on our psychological states. Physicalism misjudges human mental capacities. We have more than 1,000,000 neurons in our cerebrum, and we are not even close to acquiring a complete perspective on human mental capacities. As any mental science major (like me) knows, getting what every single neuron in our mind does is, at the very least, far off. However, physicalism accepts we have the ability to completely explain all components of our general surroundings and the intricacy of our current circumstance. This isn’t acceptable and is a significant blemish in his contention.

Both Lewis and Jackson concur that a few things can’t be learned in a highly contrasting room. The shortcoming of Lewis’ contention is that he neglects to recognize the mental contrasts among us and the individuals who don’t have comparative resolute mental states. In spite of this shortcoming, there are a few qualities for Lewis’ materialistic contention. Lewis eliminates the powerlessness to guarantee the non-actual exists. Since he underscores the learning of capacities rodent
