David Chalmers on Phenomenology - Dictionary of Arguments

I 305
Phenomenology/Chalmers: if it is true that every time a mass or charge is realized, based on a micro-phenomenal property (> Ontology/Chalmers
), then the question remains of the relationship between the micro- and macro-level, the level of the ((s) of human) consciousness.
>Levels/order, >Description Levels, >Consciousness/Chalmers.
I 306
Problem/Chalmers: our conscious experiences are too holistic to be the sum of micro-states in the information space. This is the problem of the ratio of fine-grained to coarse-grained events (Sellars, 1965)(1).
Problem: how can our experiences be so supple if they consist of building blocks of this kind? We leave the problem open.
>Experience, >Experiences/Chalmers.
