different between heterophenomenology vs qualophile

English

hetero- +? phenomenology, coined by philosopher Daniel Dennett.

heterophenomenology (plural heterophenomenologies)

phenomenology of the other
method of studying the consciousness of other people
- 1993 Daniel Dennett Consciousness and Cognition, vol. 2, no. 1
  I go to some lengths in my book to explain that heterophenomenology is nothing other than the scientific method applied to the phenomena of consciousness, and thus the way to save the rich phenomenology of consciousness for scientific study. I didn't invent the heterophenomenological method; I just codified, more self-consciously and carefully than before, the ground rules already tacitly endorsed by the leading researchers.

quale +? -o- +? -phile

qualophile (plural qualophiles)

A cognitive scientist who endorses qualia as being unmeasurable by heterophenomenology.

1994. Daniel Dennett, Get Real, in Philosophical Topics, vol. 22, no. 1 & 2, Spring & Fall 1994, pp. 505-568 [1]
"figment, for instance. It is an attractive feature to qualophiles until I find a suitably abusive way of characterizing it, and I am always gratified when some brave qualophile admits that, yes, something along the lines of figment as just what she was hankering for. "
1997 Joseph Levine Consciousness Located: You'll Wonder Where the Yellow Went. Psycoloquy: 8(04)
"So what is the explanatory problem that bothers the qualophile (to use Dennett's term)? Right now I'm looking at the red diskette case beside my computer. My perceptual state possesses a certain reddish qualitative character. What explains that feature of my perceptual state? " [2]

"The real killer is this. Rosenberg set out to explain qualia, but at the end of the day it seems to me your real qualophile would say: yes, that's all very interesting, Gregg - thing is, I can imagine all of that happening without my actually experiencing the real redness of red. I don't see anything in your theory which actually catches the vivid reality of subjective experience. Now of course, in my eyes all talk of qualia is so much hot air, but I don't see why that would be any less plausible than the case for qualia was in the first place." [3]
