explanandum

n.[哲]待解释的词(或词语)；待解释事物

The opponent will hold that qualia are an explanandum in their own right. 反对者会认为感受质是有其权利的被解释物。

It is this explanandum that raises the interesting problems of consciousness. 正是这个被解释物提出了有趣的意识问题。

If a vitalist had held this, the obvious reply would have been that there is no reason to believe in such an explanandum. 如果一个活力论者是这样认为的，那么她们明显的回应会是：没有理由相信[意识]这样的被解释物。所以，这里不可类比。
