This book presents a comprehensive theory of consciousness. The
initial chapter distinguishes six main forms of consciousness and
sketches an account of each one. Later chapters focus on phenomenal
consciousness, consciousness of, and introspective consciousness. In
discussing phenomenal consciousness, 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 include 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 cognitive science.
