Types of Consciousness: The Diversity Problem.

Front Syst Neurosci November 22, 2021 Peer reviewed DOI: 10.3389/fnsys.2021.747797 via PubMed Central

Summary

The work addresses the diversity problem in consciousness studies, arguing that different types of consciousness—such as perceptual, reflective, and self-consciousness—cannot be reduced to a single kind. It examines how various philosophical and scientific accounts handle this multiplicity and proposes a framework for understanding the distinct features and relationships among these types. The argument emphasizes that acknowledging this diversity is crucial for a complete theory of consciousness.
