In this first episode of a four episode series on qualia, I will be looking at the role of qualia in the philosophy of mind. Qualia is the stuff of consciousness- it is that which is the qualitative content of our experience. Specifically in this episode, I’ll be looking at a definition of qualia and the role of philosophy in investigating the contents of the mind and the limits of science when it comes to this task. I explore whether philosophy has a unique role in forming our understanding of consciousness.
