Conscious experiences are usually multi-faceted and made up of
different elements. These elements are called qualia, the various
ways that colours, sounds, and pains, for example, feel to us - the
way they appear to be. In this book I defend three common sense
views about the nature of these qualities: first, that there really
are such qualities and that they have features significantly unlike
anything else; second, that such qualities cannot be completely
explained in physical or functional terms; and third, that they are
qualities which have causal effects on our behaviour and the world.
My aim is to show how these claims can be made consistent while
avoiding many of the problems that theories which involve such
claims commonly face. The writing is at quite an advanced level and
is aimed at academics, postgraduates, and those in the later stages
of an undergraduate degree studying philosophy of mind,
consciousness, or philosophical psychology.
