The qualities of qualia
Communication and Cognition: An Interdisciplinary Quarterly Journal 34 (1):121-138 (1997)
Abstract
This essay is a defence of the traditional notion of qualia - as properties of consciousness that are ineffable, intrinsic, private and immediately apprehensible - against the eliminative attempts of Daniel Dennett in the influential article "Quining Qualia." It is suggested that a thorough exploration of the concept is an appropriate starting point for future explanations of qualia, and the essay ends with some possible explanations of the four traditional properties.Other Versions
