Qualia

QUALIA is a rock-and-roll band. Confusion of these two is characteristic of many historical conceptions, as well as of current essence-theories.

There are recognizable qualitative characters of the given, which may be repeated in different experiences, and are thus a sort of universals; I call these "qualia." But although such qualia are universals, in the sense of being recognized from one to another experience, they must be distinguished from the properties of objects. Qualia is directly intuited, given, and is not the subject of any possible error because it is purely subjective.
