Have you read any of David Chalmers' work? He attempts to provide a framework for thinking analytically about qualia in "The Conscious Mind: In Search of a Fundamental Theory." [1]
Nearly all of his papers are accessible via his website. [2]

- fluidcruft 13y agoThank you for the book recommendation. I have not read David Chalmers' work, but I have seen his name mentioned often. I've been trying to figure out where to get started with learning about the current understanding of the mind-body problem and keep getting recommendations to start back with the Greeks and work forward (which seems both quite daunting but also baroque given lack of influence from modern neuroscience). I think I'll start reading there. Thanks again!
- momerath 13y agoI would also recommend The Ego Tunnel by Thomas Metzinger.
- nessus42 13y agoI second Chalmers' book. It's an excellent introduction to how contemporary philosophers think about these issues.
