Definitions > Phenomenal consciousness
“One example of phenomenal consciousness discussed by Block is a loud noise that you do not consciously notice because you are paying attention to something else. Block is sure that you were aware of the noise (phenomenal consciousness) but just not “consciously aware” (access consciousness).”
“I believe that the notion of phenomenal consciousness is the core notion of consciousness. Any being that is not phenomenally conscious is not conscious in any sense. There are no zombies that lack phenomenal consciousness but are conscious in some further way.”
