The question of how "inner" states can be elucidated with reference to external phenomena receives, within Whitehead's coordinates, a twofold answer. First, a macro-analysis spelling out the characteristics of everyday perception and conceptualizing its conditions of possibility. Second, a micro-analysis questioning the ontological background of what is phenomenologically given. The conclusion underlines the main consequences of panexperientialism for Consciousness Studies.
