To be added. Cf. (NidaThe clearest case of awareness in this sense are "episodes in which a subject is presented with a [[qualia#Content qualia|c-Rümelinquale]] like, for instance, a particular slightly reddish blue, the sound of a violin, 2016)the smell of basil or the taste of ginger."<ref name="MR16NR16"/>

= Primitive awareness =
According to (Nida-Rümelin, 2016)<ref name="MR16NR16">Martine Nida-Rümelin, ''The experience property framework'', 2016</ref>, "experiences are such that, undergoing the experience necessarily involves that the subject is aware of undergoing it." This kind of awareness is called primitive awareness:
;Definition: ''Primitive awareness'' is the kind of awareness for which the claim is true that it is impossible to undergo an experience without being aware of undergoing it.
== Properties ==
* (Nida-Rümelin, 2016) assumes that primitive awareness is not the result of [[introspection]] or of phenomenal reflection.<ref name="MR16NR16"/>* Since undergoing an experience does not necessarily involve reflecting upon that experience, primitive awareness does not involve phenomenal reflection. Since it seems however to be required as a precondition, primitive awareness seems to be ''pre-reflective''.<ref name="MR16NR16"/>
* Since primitive awareness also does not require conceptualizing the experience one undergoes, but seems to be required for forming a concept of a given experience on the basis of one's own experience, it is ''pre-conceptual''.
* Any experiencing subject is immediately aware, in the sense here at issue, of every specific aspect of what it is like for it to live through moment <math>m</math> while it is living through moment <math>m</math>.

"In perception we are aware of the properties of things around us in a way whichintuitively deserves to be called immediate. We seem to have direct access to certainCfproperties of things just by looking. (Nida-Rümelin, 2016)The intuition of immediacy or directness here atissue can be cashed out in various ways and there is no agreement among philosophersabout how it should be accounted for."<ref name="MR16NR16"/>
