The term ''qualia'' (singular 'quale') is used in many different ways to date.
Let's distinguish:
# Characterizations in terms of examples
# The kind of term that is being defined (Can one call this the "logical structure" of the term? - Probably not, please correct.)
# Properties or features ascribed to qualia
== Definition in terms of examples ==
== Logical structure ==
Various uses seem to appear:
* Qualia are "introspectively accessible, phenomenal aspects of our mental lives" <ref name=SEPQualia>Michael Tye in SEP Entry on Qualia</ref>
* Properties of [[phenomenal consciousness]]
* Simple constituents of phenomenal consciousness (going as far as "approximations" of phenomenal consciousness)
* States of phenomenal consciousness
== Properties of features ascribed to qualia ==
