Where?</i> replaces entirely his philosophy of mind in <i>A Theory of Determinism: The Mind, Neuroscience and Life-Hopes</i> and the precis-book <i>How Free Are You?</i>. The new theory derives from a database to the effect that being conscious, figuratively speaking, is something's being actual. This issues, by way of (a) speculation that disagreement about consciousness is significantly owed to no adequate initial clarification of the subject matter, and (b) examination of five leading ideas of consciousness and existing theories of consciousness, and (c) a specification of the objective physical world, into the wholly literal theory or analysis of the nature of consciousness called Actualism. It distinguishes three sides of consciousness: (1) perceptual consciousness—consciousness in perception, (2) cognitive consciousness, and (3) affective consciousness. In each case the theory satisfies the two primary criteria of explaining what is actual, and what its being actual consists in. </p><p>In the case of perceptual consciousness what is actual is only a subjective physical world out there. I.e. being perceptually conscious is essentially or primarily a state of affairs external to the perceiver. Its being actual is its being subjectively physical, which is specified. In the case of cognitive and affective consciousness, what is actual is representations, internal to the conscious thing, and their being actual is their being subjectively physical, differently so from subjective physical worlds. Actualism argues, further, that it satisfies further criteria better than other existing theories of consciousness including one of subjectivity, individuality or personal identity, and that it is relevant to desires for human standing that are the motivation of beliefs in free will as against determinism. Actualism has been received as a new and arguable theory by philosophers who have previously declared the urgent need for one. A predecessor of the theory is discussed by 11 other philosophers in <i>Radical Externalism: Honderich's Theory of Consciousness Discussed</i>, ed. Anthony Freeman, Imprint Academic. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Determinism_and_freedom">Determinism and freedom</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Ted_Honderich&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Determinism and freedom"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In <i>A Theory of Determinism: The Mind, Neuroscience and Life-Hopes</i> and in the precis-book <i>How Free Are You?</i>, Honderich expounds a theory of <a href="/wiki/Causality" title="Causality">causation</a> as well as other lawlike connections. This he uses to formulate three hypotheses of a deterministic <a href="/wiki/Philosophy_of_mind" title="Philosophy of mind">philosophy of mind</a>. They are argued to be true, mainly on the basis of neuroscience. The clarity of <a href="/wiki/Determinism" title="Determinism">determinism</a> is contrasted with the obscurity of the doctrines of <a href="/wiki/Free_will" title="Free will">free will</a> or origination. </p><p>The centuries-dominant philosophical traditions of determinism and freedom, <a href="/wiki/Compatibilism" title="Compatibilism">Compatibilism</a> and <a href="/wiki/Incompatibilism" title="Incompatibilism">Incompatibilism</a>, are examined. According to the first, determinism is consistent with our freedom and moral responsibility; according to the second, it is inconsistent with them. Honderich considers Compatibilism's argument that our freedom consists in voluntariness, doing what we desire and not being coerced; hence its conclusion that determinism and freedom can go together. He also examines Incompatibilism's argument that our freedom consists in origination or free will, our choosing without our choosing's being caused; hence the conclusion that determinism and freedom are inconsistent. </p><p>Honderich argues that both views are mistaken, since freedom as voluntariness and freedom as origination are each as fundamental to our lives. The real problem of the consequences of determinism is not choosing between the two traditional doctrines, but a more practical one: trying to give up what must be given up, since we do not have the power of origination. Honderich's rejection of both traditions has been taken up by other philosophers, many of whom find his criticisms decisive. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Mind_and_brain">Mind and brain</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Ted_Honderich&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Mind and brain"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Honderich's Union Theory of <a href="/wiki/Mind" title="Mind">mind</a> and <a href="/wiki/Brain" title="Brain">brain</a> is defended in <i>A Theory of Determinism</i>. The Union Theory takes it as possible that conscious events like our choices and decisions are in a way subjective but are nevertheless physical rather than near-physical events. They stand in a kind of lawlike connection with neural events, sometimes called the <a href="/wiki/Supervenience" title="Supervenience">supervenience</a> of mental events on neural events. These psychoneural pairs, as Honderich calls them, are just effects of certain causal sequences, and are causes of our actions. This sort of physicalism, a predecessor to the notion of supervenience, has since been succeeded in Honderich's writings by the near-physicalism of Radical <a href="/wiki/Externalism" title="Externalism">Externalism</a>. Radical Externalism holds that perceptual consciousness does not have a nomic sufficient condition in a head but only a necessary one. Honderich argues that reflective and affective consciousness are different again. He also argues that this is consistent with contemporary <a href="/wiki/Neuroscience" title="Neuroscience">neuroscience</a>, rescues us from the <a href="/wiki/Argument_from_illusion" title="Argument from illusion">argument from illusion</a> or <a href="/wiki/Brain_in_a_vat" title="Brain in a vat">brain in a vat</a>, and also from the dubious conclusions of <a href="/wiki/Sense-data" class="mw-redirect" title="Sense-data">sense-data</a> theory and <a href="/wiki/Phenomenalism" title="Phenomenalism">phenomenalism</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="The_Principle_of_Humanity">The Principle of Humanity</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Ted_Honderich&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: The Principle of Humanity"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Honderich argues that the Principle of Humanity is that what is right always consists in what, according to the best available knowledge and judgement, are actually rational steps, effective and not self-defeating ones rather than pretences, to the end of getting and keeping people out of bad lives. Bad lives are defined as those deprived of six fundamental human goods: a decent length of life, bodily well-being, freedom and power in various settings, respect and self-respect, the goods of relationship, and the goods of culture. It is a <a href="/wiki/Consequentialist" class="mw-redirect" title="Consequentialist">consequentialist</a> principle, but not the <a href="/wiki/Utilitarianism" title="Utilitarianism">principle of utility</a>, nor of course the claim that the ends justify the means. Honderich argues that the principle is fundamental to but not the whole of a morality of humanity. This, he claims, includes certain policies of equality and inequality and certain practices, one being a better democracy than we have. Honderich concludes that the Principle of Humanity is better supported than any other sort of moral principle, on the basis of both consistency and certain facts. He takes it that non-consequentialist reasons are not really reasons at all, nor, he says, does the Principle grant any distinction between acts and omissions. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="International_right_and_wrong,_democracy,_terrorism"><span id="International_right_and_wrong.2C_democracy.2C_terrorism"></span>International right and wrong, democracy, terrorism</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Ted_Honderich&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: International right and wrong, democracy, terrorism"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Following <a href="/wiki/9/11" class="mw-redirect" title="9/11">9/11</a>, Honderich published <i>After the Terror</i>.

He also considers the creation of Israel in 1948 and records what he describes as the bad lives of Palestinians as a result of what is called the neo-Zionist expansion of Israel since the 1967 war. Honderich asks whether those in the rich societies do wrong in doing nothing about bad lives. He considers <a href="/wiki/Natural_morality" title="Natural morality">natural morality</a> as well as our worked-out or philosophical moralities. Such outlooks as <a href="/wiki/Political_realism" class="mw-redirect" title="Political realism">political realism</a> and such ideologies as liberalism and <a href="/wiki/Libertarianism" title="Libertarianism">libertarianism</a> are also considered, as is what Honderich calls 'hierarchic democracy'. The Principle of Humanity is used to judge our moral responsibility for the many bad lives, which Honderich tells us is great. The Principle also condemns the terrorist killings of 11 September as hideous. The killings were not rational means to an end that was partly defensible. The West's subsequent attack on <a href="/wiki/Afghanistan" title="Afghanistan">Afghanistan</a> is excused. But the taking from Palestinians of at least their freedom in the last fifth of their homeland, historic <a href="/wiki/Palestine_(region)" title="Palestine (region)">Palestine</a>, is condemned. Honderich writes: '...the Palestinians have had a moral right to their terrorism as certain as was the moral right, say, of the African people of South Africa against their white captors and the apartheid state'. </p><p>Honderich claims that we need to see the power of our societies as deadly. Americans, first of all, because of their unique power, need to think more carefully about their actions. He also argues that we should supplement our democracies with the transformations of the <a href="/wiki/Civil_disobedience" title="Civil disobedience">civil disobedience</a> of <a href="/wiki/Henry_David_Thoreau" title="Henry David Thoreau">Henry David Thoreau</a>, <a href="/wiki/Martin_Luther_King_Jr." title="Martin Luther King Jr.">Martin Luther King Jr.</a>, <a href="/wiki/Bertrand_Russell" title="Bertrand Russell">Bertrand Russell</a>, and those in <a href="/wiki/Eastern_Europe" title="Eastern Europe">Eastern Europe</a> who brought down the wall. </p><p>His later book, <i>Humanity, Terrorism, Terrorist War: Palestine, 9/11, Iraq, 7/7...</i> begins by asking if <a href="/wiki/Analytic_philosophy" title="Analytic philosophy">analytic philosophy</a> in considering large questions of right and wrong should proceed by embracing <a href="/wiki/International_law" title="International law">international law</a>, <a href="/wiki/Human_rights" title="Human rights">human rights</a>, <a href="/wiki/Just_war_theory" title="Just war theory">just war theory</a> or the like. Honderich, finding these means of judgement wanting, again takes up the Principle of Humanity. The book justifies and defends Zionism, defined as the creation of Israel in its original borders, but also reaffirms that Palestinians have had a moral right to their liberation—to terrorism within historic Palestine against what Honderich calls the ethnic cleansing of Neo-Zionism, the expansion of Israel beyond its original borders. After a further consideration of 9/11, there is an analysis of 10 reasons for what he calls 'our terrorist war' in Iraq. Honderich condemns the war as morally barbaric, given the foreseen and thus intentional killing of many innocents. In condemning the 7/7 terrorist attack on London, Honderich considers the importance of horror to morality. He also argues that <a href="/wiki/Tony_Blair" title="Tony Blair">Tony Blair</a> and <a href="/wiki/George_W._Bush" title="George W. Bush">George W. Bush</a> are friends rather than enemies of terrorism. The book ends with a postscript on the charge of anti-semitism against critics of neo-Zionism – a charge Honderich says is principally a part of Neo-Zionism or at least something insufficiently detached from it. </p><p>In January 2011, Honderich wrote a letter to the Guardian on terrorism, in response to details released about the Israeli-Palestinian peace process: </p> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1244412712">.mw-parser-output .templatequote{overflow:hidden;margin:1em 0;padding:0 32px}.mw-parser-output .templatequotecite{line-height:1.5em;text-align:left;margin-top:0}@media(min-width:500px){.mw-parser-output .templatequotecite{padding-left:1.6em}}</style><blockquote class="templatequote"><p>[T]he Palestinians have a moral right to their terrorism within historic Palestine against neo-Zionism.

Most have to do with desert or <a href="/wiki/Retributive_justice" title="Retributive justice">retribution</a>, others with annulment or consent. All are found to be weak or worse. Honderich then argues that the strong tradition of punishment must have in it some real content or argument. This is found to be that punishment is justified by giving satisfaction to grievance-desires—doing no more than satisfying them. This, Honderich concludes, is the reality of <a href="/wiki/Retributivism" class="mw-redirect" title="Retributivism">retributivism</a>, but it cannot be an effective justification of punishment. The Utilitarian prevention theory of punishment is also rejected, because it justifies certain victimisations. Mixed theories of punishment, drawing on backward-looking considerations as well as the notion of prevention, sometimes in terms of the reform of offenders, are also found to be untenable. Robert Nozick's theory in particular is examined. Honderich's conclusion is that the long-running problem of the justification of punishment is now dead. Its justification must be in terms of its consequences—in discouraging and licensing certain kinds of behaviour. The live issue is determining what these are. Honderich's answer has to do with the Principle of Humanity. Punishment is or would be justified when it rationally takes forward the humanisation of our societies. He argues, on the basis of this, that most punishments are in fact wrong. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Conservatism">Conservatism</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Ted_Honderich&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Conservatism"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Honderich's book <i>Conservatism</i> begins with a general inquiry into the distinctions between British and American <a href="/wiki/Conservatism" title="Conservatism">conservatism</a>. He argues that one [British conservatism?] has to do with eternal values and therefore with reform rather than change, a view underpinning <a href="/wiki/Edmund_Burke" title="Edmund Burke">Edmund Burke</a>'s condemnation of the <a href="/wiki/French_Revolution" title="French Revolution">French Revolution</a> and all conservatives since.

Given these distinctions which set conservatism apart from other views, Honderich asks what underlies and brings these distinctions together. What is the rationale or underlying <a href="/wiki/Principle" title="Principle">principle</a> of conservatism? The answer he gives is not just that the conservative tradition is selfish. Its self-interest, he argues, does not distinguish it from other political traditions. What does distinguish it, Honderich concludes, is that it lacks a moral principle to defend its self-interest. It is unique in its <a href="/wiki/Amorality" title="Amorality">amorality</a>. <i>Conservatism</i> was enlarged as <i>Conservatism: Burke, Nozick, Bush, Blair?</i> in 2005, and includes Honderich's consideration of whether Britain's <a href="/wiki/New_Labour" title="New Labour">New Labour</a> is truly in the conservative political tradition. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Controversy">Controversy</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Ted_Honderich&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Controversy"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Honderich has been involved in controversy since the publication of his book <i>After the Terror</i> in 2002.

Honderich demanded the dismissal of Brumlik from his professorship, for violation of academic principle. There was a media furore in Germany.
