Abstract

Those who, like Husserl, talk about consciousness usually mean not consciousness but its contents. Consciousness may be here defined as the qualitative correlate of controlled perception. Consciousness itself is a quality; it is ultimately simple and it is unanalyzable. That which has no parts cannot be analyzed into them.
