Definition of Qualia
"An unfamiliar term for something that could not be more familiar to each of us: the ways things seem to us." Daniel Dennett
Qualia (kwɑːliə)
From the Latin, meaning "what kind", qualia is a philosophical term that refers to the subjective qualities of sensory perception and the feeling they generate. Qualia is not only the “redness” of red, but the way that redness makes us feel. It is not just the smell of a spring morning, it is the memory it recalls. Qualia are, in essence, our own unique and personal perceptions of our environment.
