Abstract

In the article I analyze the methodological foundations of the theory of sense experience with particular emphasis on the phenomenon of new conscious experiences. I consider the value of solutions proposed thus far and I present my own solution. In searching for an answer to the problem of the reality and character of new sense experiences, I consider, among other things, Jackson’s argument from knowledge and I discuss the results of experimental studies.
