The Ontology of Creature Consciousness: A Challenge for Philosophy
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 30 (1):103-104 (2007)
| Abstract | I appeal to Merker's theory to motivate a hypothesis about the ontology of consciousness: Creature consciousness is (at least partially) constitutive of phenomenal consciousness. Rather than elaborating theories of phenomenal consciousness couched solely in terms of state consciousness, as philosophers are fond of doing, a correct approach to phenomenal consciousness should begin with an account of creature consciousness. | |||||||||
