→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 could 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.
