Summary

AI-generated from the abstract

This article provides a basic Spanish-language introduction to the concept of qualia, the subjective qualities of conscious experience. It critically examines the existence of qualia through two parallel debates. First, it analyzes Dan Dennett's argument that the concept of qualia, as presented by dualists, is incoherent. Second, it discusses the debate between Frank Jackson and Paul Churchland concerning Jackson's Mary's room thought experiment, which challenges physicalist accounts of consciousness.
