He distinguishes various dimensions of consciousness, explores their distribution in different species, and traces their roots to an ancient system of hedonic valence, which evolved to solve complex problems of action selection in early animals. This approach places Veit firmly within a new \u2018post-Cartesian\u2019 paradigm for consciousness science, which treats consciousness as a complex functional state, which can be studied by standard scientific means \u2013 in contrast to the traditional Cartesian paradigm, which focused on irreducibly subjective qualia and the \u2018hard problem\u2019 they present. However, there are places where Veit\u2019s discussion displays residual Cartesian influence. Veit continues to use Cartesian terms such as \u2018qualia\u2019, and he suggests that states of hedonic valence play their functional role in virtue of their \u2018feel\u2019, implying a subjective realm \u2013 a \u2018Cartesian bureau de change\u2019 \u2013 where intrinsic value is felt and reacted to. This weakens Veit\u2019s presentation, and I urge him to commit to a thoroughly functionalist account. The Cartesian and post-Cartesian paradigms are incommensurable, and in order to achieve a Darwinian revolution in consciousness studies, the concept of an irreducibly subjective mental realm must be completely abandoned.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/10597123251359198","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,15]],"date-time":"2025-07-15T09:54:51Z","timestamp":1752573291000},"page":"17-21","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Closing the Cartesian Bureau de Change"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"34","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0968-2944","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Keith","family":"Frankish","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Sheffield"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_4_2_1","first-page":"261","article-title":"Troubles with functionalism","volume":"9","author":"Block N.","year":"1978","unstructured":"Block N.
