Written on September 18, 2009
Subjective Consciousness: A Self-Representational Theory by Uriah Kriegel (Oxford University Press, 2009)
Product description from the publisher:
Some mental events are conscious, some are unconscious. What is the difference between the two? Uriah Kriegel offers an answer. His aim is a comprehensive theory of the features that all and only conscious mental events have. The key idea is that consciousness arises when self-awareness and world-awareness are integrated in the right way. Conscious mental events differ from unconscious ones in that, whatever else they may represent, they always also represent themselves, and do so in a very specific way. Subjective Consciousness is a fascinating new move forward towards a full understanding of the mind.
Kriegel is an Associate Director of the Center for Consciousness Studies, where plans for the 2010 Toward a Science of Consciousness conference are underway…
