How are qualia necessary/sufficient for consciousness? Seems more related to the subjectivity of perception, which in itself doesn't require consciousness (or does it?)?
- goatlover 5y agoQualia is the term for the sensations of color, sound, etc. And not just perception, but dreams, hallucinations, etc. That's what makes up consciousness/subjectivity. Not everyone agrees with using the term qualia for sensation. There's various debates over the nature of perception. Some see sensation as just being directly aware of properties in the world, such as color. Doesn't work for all sensation (pain for example), and color realism has its own problems.
