Some psychologists and philosophers consider inexplicable the world's subjective perception by the brain as a physical object. It seems that the brain, as a system which operates under objective, natural laws, produces a subjective reality. Some researchers see our subjective world as the manifestation of the consciousness or seek it there.

The consciousness is not manifested by our subjective experience of the world. Our experience of the world is always subjective. We always have subjective experiences, unique feelings. The subjectivity is arising from the experience instead of consciousness.

What is the feeling or emotion then? How is it created by the brain? It is an information recall and a way of summation of the earlier captured senses, all the related associations and our internal states by our brain.

For example, we see the beautiful scenery. It is a feeling, an emotion. How is it created by the brain? The sight of the landscape activates former memories associated with the sight, including our former states when we were having fun. Thus, the scenery’s sight is pleasant, so it is beautiful.

Our feelings, our emotions, our subjective perceptions about the world do not require consciousness.

On this basis, the animals can also have feelings, emotions. The difference is that the human has more sophisticated, more complex feelings, emotions because we have an advanced brain and we are living in a more sophisticated and in a more complex relationship with our environment. We are living in a socialized society.
