ResumoDespite such widespread acclaim, there are some influential theater critics who have panned Qualia ! most recently and vehemently, Dan Dennett. In his review, Quining Qualia,1 he laments several characters of Qualia ! as unrealistic and even kitschy. This literary criticism begets social criticism in Dennett's Consciousness Explained ,2 where he puts the blame for Qualia ! and similar productions on any cartoonsian theater that promotes them, and ultimately on the rather imperceptive audience itself. My aim here is to respond to these charges. I first summarize the issues at stake, with brief excerpts from Qualia!' s playbill.
