ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the problem of consciousness, as recently brought to philosophical attention by David Chalmers, in light of Wittgenstein’s methodology of logical clarifi cation and remarks on mental concepts. On this basis, I outline an argument to show that Chalmers has not yet succeeded in identifying (what he calls) phenomenal consciousness as an object of investigation for philosophy or science. If this is correct, it remains unclear whether there really is a Chalmersian ‘hard problem’.
