15. Nature of Minds / B. Features of Minds / 1. Consciousness / b. Essence of consciousness

7437	Consciousness and experience of qualities are not the same [Armstrong]
	Full Idea: Consciousness and experience of qualities are often run together - a serious mistake, I think.
	From: David M. Armstrong (Pref to new 'Materialist Theory' [1992], p.xvii)
	A reaction: A difficult claim to evaluate. Can we experience redness without being conscious of it? Could there be consciousness (e.g. of concepts) which didn't involve any qualities? I suspect that qualities are more basic than intentionality or consciousness.
