Aug 30, 2014 at 15:08 comment added Mozibur Ullah Would you consider the awareness of thinking one own thoughts as a qualia?
Aug 28, 2014 at 21:37 comment added Dave "How have philosophers tried to do this [convince someone who doesn't believe there is something it is like, that there is], without begging the question?" seems to ask for arguments that qualia exist; Note that in response to the preceding comment I have edited this answer to ensure that it addresses (my interpretation of) this aspect of the OP's question directly and explicitly.

Aug 27, 2014 at 17:01 comment added Dave I interpret these ideas as a way to argue for the existence of qualia: qualia are apparent phenomena (at least at the day to day, high level description of things) and they are sufficiently distinct from the stimuli themselves to warrant differentiation as distinct entities.

Aug 27, 2014 at 16:49 comment added user6917 is empirical evidence - in your first sentence, the right terminology? "our perception of volume depends on pitch" thanks!
