Reconstructing (phenomenal) consciousness

Alfredo Paternoster

pp. 249-260

In this chapter, I shall discuss Block's distinction between phenomenal consciousness and access consciousness. I will argue that although Block's proposal has the merit of accounting for some important distinctive phenomena, it should nonetheless be given up, in favor of a single, graded notion of consciousness. There is only one consciousness, which one can possess in different degrees.
