→Definition
;Definition: We define ''conscious experience'' to refer to the totality of impressions, feelings, thoughts, perceptions, etc. which an experiencing subject lives through at a particular instant of time.
The definition is thus relative to experiencing subjects and the reference changes with time. Another, possibly more useful way of stating the same idea would be:<ref>Van Gulick, ''Understanding the Phenomenal Mind: Are We all Just Armadillos?'', 1993</ref>;Definition: Phenomenal experience is not merely a succession of qualitatively distinguished sensory ideas, but rather the organized cognitive experience of a world of objects and of ourselves as subject within that world.
