Embodiment and phenomenal qualities: an enactive interpretation

TL;DR: The authors argue that an older debate in phenomenology concerning Husserl's notion of hyletic data can throw some light on contemporary debates about qualia and phenomenal consciousness, which tend to ignore important considerations about bodily experience and how specific kinds of bodily experience can shape one's consciousness of the world.
