Subjective Consciousness

Meer over het boek

Some mental events are conscious, some are unconscious. What is the difference between the two? Uriah Kriegel offers the following whatever else they may represent, conscious mental states always represent themselves (whereas unconscious ones do not, at least not in the right way). The book develops this 'self-representational' approach to consciousness along several dimensions - including phenomenological, ontological, and scientific - and defends it from common and uncommon criticisms.
