Consciousness
This book presents a novel prehensive theory
of consciousness. The initial chapter distinguishes six main forms
of consciousness and sketches an account of each one. Later chap-
ters focus on phenomenal consciousness, consciousness of, and
Âintrospective consciousness. In discussing phenomenal conscious-
ness, Hill develops the representational theory of mind in new
directions, arguing that all awareness involves representations, even
awareness of qualitative states like pain. He then uses this view to
undercut dualistic accounts of qualitative states. Other topics in-
clude visual awareness, visual appearances, emotional qualia, and
meta-cognitive processing. This important work will interest a wide
readership of students and scholars in philosophy of mind and
Âcognitive science.
c h r i s t oph e râs.âh i l l is Professor of Philosophy at Brown
University. His past publications include Sensations (Cambridge,
1991) and Thought and World (Cambridge, 2002).
