DESCRIPTION:The question I take up is: why does bad stuff\, such as damage 
 and\ndeprivation\, give rise to bad feelings (pain\, hunger\, etc.) while g
 ood stuff\, such as adequate heat and nourishment\, gives rise to good feel
 ings(warmth\, feeling full etc.).  I consider an evolutionary explanation a
 s well as an explanation that draws on functionalism about feelings (i.e. a
 bout qualia) and I argue that neither of these explanations is satisfying. 
  I then present what I think is a satisfying explanation.  Namely\, I argue
  for a functionalist account\, not of qualia full stop\, but rather of the 
 goodness and badness of qualia.
