The panpsychist answers both these challenges in the same way: we already know what qualia
are through direct, introspective apprehension; and we likewise know
what conscious mentality is by virtue of being conscious. For someone
like Alfred North Whitehead,
third-person description takes second place to the intimate connection
between every entity and every other which is, he says, the very fabric
of reality. To take a mere description as having primary reality is to commit the "fallacy of misplaced concreteness".[citation needed]
