| 16914 | A priori intuition of objects is only possible by containing the form of my sensibility [Kant] |
| 21447 | I can make no sense of the red experience being similar to the quality in the object [Kant] |
| 16924 | I count the primary features of things (as well as the secondary ones) as mere appearances [Kant] |

| 2313 | Emergentism says there is no explanation for a supervenient property [Kim] |
| 2328 | The only mental property that might be emergent is that of qualia [Kim] |
| 2309 | Non-Reductive Physicalism relies on supervenience [Kim] |
| 2311 | Maybe strong supervenience implies reduction [Kim] |
| 2308 | Identity theory was overthrown by multiple realisations and causal anomalies [Kim] |
| 2322 | Multiple realisation applies to other species, and even one individual over time [Kim] |
| 2327 | Knowledge and inversion make functionalism about qualia doubtful [Kim] |
| 2323 | Emotions have both intentionality and qualia [Kim] |
