About Qualia

The Qualia is the magazine of the Faculty of Philosophy. It is published three times a year and all members and donors of STUFF receive a copy. The name Qualia is derived from the concept of qualia in the philosophy of mind. There it is used as the term for the qualitative character of subjective experience, like ‘redness’ or the fact that you hear noise, instead of seeing it. 

All the editors of the Qualia are philosophy students, and every edition of the magazine covers many different topics from different points of view. For example, it contains philosophical reflections on current affairs, interviews and poems, but also crossword puzzles, drawings and reviews of activities organized by STUFF. 

If you want to receive the Qualia, but you’re not a member of STUFF, don’t fear. It is possible to become a STUFF ‘donor’ for 15 euros a year. If you are interested in this, please send an e-mail to [email protected] for more information.
