Abstract
The article considers the discussion of the ontological status of phenomenal properties (qualia). We analyze arguments for dualism formulated by D. Chalmers who is primarily known as a philosopher of mind, although he has no less important works on the philosophy of language. Also, we consider the answer to Chalmer’s arguments given by J. Perry - the semantician who has recently turned to the theory of the mental. In the discussion, both philosophers explicitly base their arguments on semantic considerations; to examine these considerations is the main task for the present article.
