# Cognitive Phenomenology **Opening (not a real abstract):** My goal in this chapter is twofold. In Part I, I argue for the very existence of a phenomenology proper to cognitive states—an irreducible cognitive phenomenology. After introducing the issue (§1), I offer (what I hope are) workable characterizations of the cognitive and the phenomenal (§§2–3). I then present an argument for “cognitive-phenomenal primitivism” (§4). In Part II, I turn to the question of the character of cognitive phenomenology: what is it like to engage in conscious cognition? After sketching an approach to this question that focuses on what I call phenomenological Ramsey sentences (§5), I produce one for the paradigmatic cognitive activity of making a judgment (§6). **Authors:** [[Kriegel]]
