Subjective Consciousness: A Self-Representational Theory

By Uriah Kriegel

Summary

A conscious state is one that represents itself in the right way. The subjective character of experience (its "for-me-ness") is explained by a state's self-representation. Integrates phenomenological, empirical, and metaphysical considerations.

Why It Matters

The most developed self-representational account of consciousness. Connects to certain Eastern accounts of self-luminosity (sva-prakasha).
