Problem of Phenomenal Consciousness:Some Reflection

Abstract

Consciousness is one of the most interesting, perhaps the most mysterious concept in philosophical discussion. When we say about something, we also think that we say it consciously about something. Conscious experience is the most familiar thing to any subject of such experience. We know our consciousness more intimately than anything else. Philosophers have struggled to understand the phenomenon of consciousness. When we think, perceive and act, a sort of information process takes place with an internal aspect. This internal aspect is characterized as the subjective quality of experience. In this paper, an attempt will be made to highlight the subjective quality or phenomenal character of experience which is also called phenomenal consciousness. Next we shall try to give some arguments against the concept of phenomenal consciousness. Finally, we shall try to provide an analysis of this concept
