Qualitative consciousness is conscious experience marked by the
presence of sensory qualities, like the experienced painfulness of
having a piano dropped on your foot, or the consciousness of seeing
the brilliant reds and oranges of a sunset. Over his career,
philosopher David Rosenthal has defended an influential theoretical
approach to explaining qualitative consciousness. This approach
involves the development of two theories - the higher-order thought
theory of mental state consciousness and the quality space theory
of sensory quality. If the problem of explaining qualitative
consciousness is divided into two more manageable pieces, the door
opens to a satisfying explanation of what is seen by some to be an
intractable explanatory puzzle. This interdisciplinary collection
develops, criticizes, and expands upon themes inspired by
Rosenthal's work. The result is an exciting collection of new
essays by philosophers and scientists, which will be of interest to
all those engaged in consciousness studies.
