Notes

  1. The considerations here very much echo, for example, those of Zahavi (2005).

  2. According to the argument, since consciousness is not part of the objective world, it is it own stage of existence (as the objective world is the stage of existence of its inhabitants). But it makes no sense to say that a plane of existence could go out of existence because for that event there is no other place to transpire than itself. But this is of course self-contradiction.
