- PaulDavisThe1st 5y agoWe can agree that anyone who reports having no subjective experience is not a part of the discussion, i think.
- klodolph 5y agoThat’s a profoundly unsatisfying answer. I really am interested in who you consider to be a part of the discussion. If qualia are not phenomena, how can we talk about them besides in the hypothetical, since conversations are phenomena? If someone claims to not experience qualia, why would you take that claim any more or less seriously than the claim that someone does experience qualia, or the claim that qualia exist at all? …or is it possible that qualia are phenomenological?
