Some mental events are conscious, some are unconscious. What is the difference between the two? Uriah Kriegel offers the following answer: 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.

Reviews for Subjective Consciousness: A Self-Representational Theory

`Review from previous edition Kriegel's aim is to provide a comprehensive theory of phenomenal consciousness ... it combines an impressive attention to the empirical side of the matter with a genuinely philosophical treatment ... There are new ideas and arguments in every section. ' Joseph Levine, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
