Following the lead of David Rosenthal, the author argues for the so-called 'higher-order thought theory of consciousness'. This theory holds that what makes a mental state conscious is the presence of a suitable higher-order thought directed at the mental state. In addition, the somewhat controversial claim that "consciousness entails self-consciousness" is vigorously defended. The approach is mostly 'analytic' in style and draws on important recent workAdvances in consciousness research ;v. 6.ConsciousnessSelf-consciousness (Sensitivity)Thought and thinkingPhenomenological psychologyConsciousness.Self-consciousness (Sensitivity)Thought and thinking.Phenomenological psychology.153Gennaro Rocco J1610684MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910818634803321Consciousness and Self-Consciousness4069054UNINA
