→Qualia as properties or features of mental states
=== Qualia as qualitative properties ===
In particular, qualia are often defined to be ''qualitative properties'' of experiences, where a qualitative property is related to the [[qualitative character]] of an experience. (Nida-Rümelin, 2016)<ref name="NR16"/> argues that this is untenable if one assumes that subjects are [[awareness|aware]] of qualia.
=== Qualia as properties or features of mental states ===
Some define qualia as "particular features of mental states" (arguably Varela<ref>"In the best of cases, the problem of consciousness is assimilated with that of 'qualia' for some particular features of mental states." Varela, Neurophenomenology, 1996</ref>)
== Qualia as simple constituents ==
== Qualia as states ==
Some authors define qualia simply as states of [[phenomenal consciousness]].
With respect to [[experiential properties]], "for a state to have qualia is (...) for the state to be such that the subject has experiential properties by being in that sate".<ref name="NR16"/>
= Properties of features ascribed to qualia =
* transparent
* qualitative in character
=== Qualia determine how it is to have an experience ===
Qualia are sometimes claimed to ''determine'' how it is for the experiencing subject to have an experience.<ref name="NR16"/>
