What is it about?

With a series of examples, ranging from the experience of pain and emotions, we try to convince the readers that any physiological correlate or obsvervation obtained by other sources (third-person), cannot be assimilated to the personal subjective experience (first-person).

Why is it important?

It is important because it underlies the irreducible nature of our inner subjective experiences that source of which must be searched outside their physiological correlates.

Perspectives

The search of the nature of our personal subjective experience, must start from the hypothesis that all our conscious experiences derive from a primordial proto-consciousness that probably is the basic stuff of all reality.
