Abstract
Both in philosophy and in psychology, «the problem of consciousness» is supposed to be very special. And the past fifteen years have seen an explosion of work on «it» by philosophers, psychologists, and neuroscientists as well. Besides the individual journal articles and books, there is now a vigorous Journal of Consciousness Studies; and John Benjamins Publishing Company’s book series, Advances in Consciousness Research, is flourishing and includes some excellent works.
This talk was originally entitled ≪Cognitive Theories of Consciousness.≫ Thanks to Martin Davies and to Manuel Liz for their excellent commnents on it at the ICCS_99 conference.
